Do I have a sleeping problem?

Question

I've been falling asleep around 1 or 2 A.M. (weekdays) and 3 or 4 A.M. on weekends these days... I know the simple solution would just be to sleep early but I can't. I need to be watching a show on Netflix or a youtube video and fall asleep while watching, in other words, I can't just close my eyes and fall asleep; I need to fall asleep while watching something. Especially on the weekends, for example when I sleep at 4 a.m, I wake up at 2 p.m. or something the next day and that's 10 hours of sleep... When I wake up after that 10 hour sleep, I still feel tired and dead and end up staying in bed all day, not doing homework, just lying down and watching my shows... What is wrong with me?
