Or it could just be natural variation in chronotype.

I had the same kind of sleep cycle when I was a teenager / young adult. I didn't have hypothyrodism or Grave's disease.

It gradually got a bit better as I aged and I'm down to needing a more normal 7.5 hrs of sleep.

Its still 9:20am in the morning, though, and I still feel like I got kicked in the face getting out of bed, which is entirely normal for me.

Just a small note, hypo is the opposite of hyper. Hyperthyroidism => more active & nervous, hypothyroidism => less energy, more weight gain, cooler metabolism so you want to stay under blankets all day.

I had mild untreated hypothyroidism for a year and it didn't help me get to sleep earlier.
