I just turned 15, and I'm ALWAYS working. School, work, sport et cetera. I get good grades, and I'm always able to push it though until the weekend comes, then I sleep about 19 hours in the weekend. I drink coffee, rarely take naps. I don't eat as much as other kids my age, and I sleep on average 6 hours from Sunday night to Thursday night. If this matters, my body has been the height and shape of a woman since I was 13, my body moves with each heartbeat (If I stay still/hold my breath my body will literally react with a tiny jolt with each heartbeat) and I am an indifferent, introverted person, so it's not like I bounce off the walls all the time. Depression was a big struggle for me for a few years. I stopped taking my meds and now I'm generally happy, haven't thought of suicide once. Not to be a hypochondriac with all the extra details, I'm just not sure if anything is related. Please help, what are the health risks? Will my brain develop normally?

What happens if it develops too fast or too much?
This summer I do plan on trying to balance all things, my stress tolerance is relatively high, but things I need to do keep piling up. I don't get headaches, I just don't sleep as much as I want. Sometimes I'll think of sleep so much, but I know I can't.
I keep hearing God tell me to stop pushing myself so hard. I just can't bring myself to sleep enough.
