Can't concentrate during the day at home

On weekends (like today) I usually sit down to do my work at about 2pm and end up not getting anything done, and it's 3.46pm now and that's my situation. At college I work and work for hours and get so much done, but at home I never get anything done, and if I do, it's from staying up all night to get it done for the next day. I always find an excuse to stop working such as;

1. My screen is making an irritating noise
2. I have no space to put my folders/sheets
3. There's too much going on in my house

Anyone got any ideas on how to just do the work and not save it till night when I am exhausted? I find it easier to work at night because it's very peaceful, and it's the only time alone I get, and I work well alone, but in the day there's so much noise, family always distract me, and I end up going mad and doing other things for hours. Oh and I'm getting a flat screen monitor so I have space on my desk to put my folders, so I hope that'll help.

Anyone else having similar problems or know how to keep concentration?

try studying somewhere else like a library for example? just to give you a change of environment from your home especially if there's a lot going on there

If you work better at night, don't attempt it during the day, aslong as it isnt affecting getting to school/college on time. I prefer working at night, its having like 5 hours sleep that's the downside :p:

^ Yeah that's what I hate, the lack of sleep, because I can never function fully unless I get my 10-11 hours a night. :wink:

... Which never happens, but y'know.

I don't want to turn my sleep pattern into sleeping in the afternoon and waking up at night though because that would mess me up.

Oh and the library nearby sucks, it's always busy.
