I struggle to go to school because of my anxiety and messed up sleep schedule

Im trying to go to bed at midnight since its better than 4am. But when I wake up at 6am I dismiss my alarm, even cheating the captcha so I can sleep in more. I feel like Im disappointing my friends and my family. My dad made it pretty obvious when he was disappointed before, probably unintentionally.

I just dread school. I spend the night thinking about why but I can't find anything except boredom. I have amazing friends. And then when it's midnight I know its time to sleep so I play some calm music and stretch. When I wake up, Im so tired that I feel sick, and like right now I miss school.

Maybe I could ask my therapist about CBT or ACT? I just really need some coping strategies to go because my attendance is getting worse and worse.

Btw, Im not stressed about my grades.

Tl;dr: I miss school a lot because of my anxiety and because Im so tired I feel sick. Please give me coping strategies.
