Although this may be related to adolescence, it could indicate "sleep architecture" disturbance. Talk to a doctor about the problem if possible.
I regret your father and friends degrade you. You hear that stuff long enough and it becomes extremely difficult not to internalize it. It would be nice to say, "Don't listen to them!", but that's not easy. As a human being you cannot but help pick up on the verbal and nonverbal messages in your environment. Were you to go to a counselor, they might talk to you about developing greater "psychological boundary strength."
In any case, now is the time to speak with credentialed, trusted individuals and develop strategies for dealing with toxic folks in life. I wish I had done so when I was young.
Please keep posting, Sl33pLesS.
