so for me its either 1 hour early, or 8 hours late, for fajr prayer, does any way even count? 
well... i cant set alarm clock, tis so annoying and remind me of school, besides if i sleep and set the clock to wake me up in an hour, i am NOT gonna be able to wake up, and i cant sleep early, coz its...emm...i just cant!
Sooo which prayer actually counts? Very late, or a lil early?
it was easier when fajr was at like 5:30

Sufficient it is for me to praise Allah and supplicate Him for peace on those servants of His whom he has chosen
wow 4:20...fajr here in atlanta is 5:21 although i usually get up at before or by 4,idk y but i do,i usually have to wake up at 5 during the school year cuz high school starts so early here Alaxmdulilah though,other wise i would probably have much more late Prayers....I dnt no wut to tell you sister...every salat has its fixed time,not early nor late....im pretty sure what ever is keeping you up at night and causing you to miss Fajr is not as important as Prayer...
Our Prophet (sallallaahu-alaihi-wasallam) is our exemplar who provided the best example in spending long hours of the night in prayer and waking intime for Fajr Prayer. This record was authentically known of him both in his teachings and his living example as he did not like sleeping before Ishaa [night] Prayer and discouraged his followers from useless talk after it. In this he was followed by his companions and all the muslims up to a time not very far from our own days. They knew the reasons which cause laziness and lessen motivation to observe prayers in time (be such prayers Fard [obligatory] or Nafla [optional] and warned people against them so much that some of them are reported to have said: "If you are unable to pray at night, then that is a clear sign that your sins have shackled you and deprived you of good deeds". Al-Hasan al-Basri was once asked: "Why is it that we cannot uphold prayers at night?" He answered: "You are shackled in your own sins".
