DAYTIME- SHE SLEEPS ALL DAY.

NIGHT TIME- SHE SPRNTS AROUND MY APARTMENT ATTACKING THINGS AND ACTING LIKE SHE'S CRAZY! I CANT SLEEP SO I LOCK HER OUT OF THE BEDROOM THEN SHE MEOWS FOR MY ATTENTION.

I know, this is what cats do, blahblahblah. WHAT CAN I DO TO CALM HER DOWN? SHE'S CRAZIER THAN MOST!

It sounds like she has day mixed up with night. I just had a brilliant idea! Try to keep her awake during the day so if she falls asleep wake her up etc. In other words keep her energized. She will then be tired by night time. Then when she wakes up in the morning she won't be tired and this will continue on. I have to tell you though that cats do sleep during the day but not all day they usually find time to eat and play.

PS: What is with your avatar lips?

This sounds very amusing, but not to you since you have to deal with it :)
You must remember that the average kitten and adult cat sleeps about 12 hours a day as they are nocturnal animals- a lot of people don't actually know this. Kittens, like human babies need to develop a sleeping pattern and it is up to you to do so. A good way to do this is to play with your kitten during the day so it tires out. Also buy some kitten milk, not normal milk as cats are lactose intolerant. Heat the milk so it is about body temperature (you shouldn't notice a difference when you put your finger in to test the temperature. All milk when heated releases a chemical which relaxes the brain which sends messages to the body to relax and makes the kitten feel tired.

You only need to do this for about a week for the sleeping patterns to keep in. If all else fails, lock you kitten in a room with water and a nice comfy cat bed at night or even close your bedroom door with your cat at night, this will settle down as your cat gets older
