No, although.: Owls are cool. But no, this is a normal change in circadian rhythm that occurs in teens and in peri- menopausal females. The current thinking is that the hormones that affect fertility are elevated at these times, and that our daily level of arousal at the RAS is altered as a result and we have a "sleep shift" disorder. This will pass eventually. There are strict sleep hygiene practices that help.

Not an owl: Not an owl, just a normal teenager. If you start sprouting feathers, however, I want to reconsider my answer.
