I suggest you take up a bi-phasic sleeping schedule. If you're sophomore, you will have more years of college so you want a schedule that does not interfere with schedule. Welcome to the world of the bi-phasic!!
In my final year of school, i was 17 when I started bi-phasic schedule. Like you, I got home at about 4:15-4:30, and I went straight to sleep. At first, this will be difficult, but as you get better at taking a sleep at obscure hours, the easier you will find it. I slept until 7:30. I woke up, had dinner, then went back to bed at 4AM, to wake at 7AM. This is a typical schedule that could work for you.
Like tendomentis said, any schedule is difficult to adjust to, but it can be rewarding. Just think of this, I had a hard day at school, come home, sleep for 3 hours, wake, then I feel refreshed and ready to start homework, even allowing myself to have a break between 12AM and 1AM for some vital computer gaming time. Total hours of study: 7 (I never studied 7 hours though because I mucked around alot)
Compare that to one of my friends who is on a monophasic schedule. Gets home exhausted, can't be fucked doing anything but sitting on the couch, might do some computer gaming or whatever, has dinner, it's now 7 or 8 o'clock, brings out the homework, studies until 11PM, goes to sleep. No fun, no rest, no breaks. Total hours of study: 4 hours max.
Also, on a side note, be careful of doctors that try to tell you that your sleeping schedule is bad because you are not getting eight hours of sleep. Remind them that presumes you are on a monophasic schedule where different rules apply.
It's not how many hours you sleep, but how often....
