My dad always says that staying up till like 4am all the time is bad for me and that it can make me sick...I've only been sick one time when I stayed up all day/night which wasn't good hehe but why is it bad if you still get 6-8 hours of sleep?

Its not really bad. it just upsets ur body clock. Your brain says night times for sleepin and vice versa. If you always stay up till like 4am but still sleep for 6-8 hours thats fine, but you might still feel tired throughout the day. It is better to sleep from like 10pm till 6am or 7am, your body prefers it but staying up till 4am will not hurt you. I think ur dad is just trying to look after you, wait till u have your own kids and trust me you will say the same thing,lol. Peace.

because you are tiring your body out too much. Even though you are recovering with 6-8 hours sleep, you still are tired as hell when you decide to get catch some z's. My mom always told me to go to sleep at a decent hour. I wish i would have listened to her advice when i was younger! Then again, we didn't have Yahoo! Answers back then. hehe

Because, for one, you get grumpy and bitter during the time that you are awake. And mostly, it's because your body will try to adapt to a more nocturnal point, at which you sleep like a vampire (sleep in day, awake at night). That's one of the reasons that you'll get sick staying up late.

You are right about getting that amount of sufficient sleep being good.However, as good as it is, you got to remember what responsibilities are awaiting you during the daytime.
Your dad is probably concern that you would missed important opportunities in life when most people are already ahead of you in the daytime while you are resting. And if you are missing them, he may be worry about you "suffering" other areas that would better enrich your life.
Have a good talk with your dad.
PS: 4am is usually when I start starting to wake up. Haha!

I think its bad for me. I work nights. Had the last few days off and was awake during the day like a normal person and now I am sleeping at my desk tonight! This can't be healthy.

I work nights and it has my body's clock all messed
up. They said it's hard on the body to do this.
They also said it takes time off your life. I forgot
what it's like to sleep 5, 6, or 8 hrs in one stretch.
Now i'm a night person.

i guess it's okay if it is your routine to stay up late and wake up late
