Can you have a stroke from not sleeping enough?

Im 15 and i have serious sleeping problems.
for the past week ive gotten to sleep at avout 3am every night.
but i also dont remember the last time i ever fell to sleep before midnight.

Sounds like you need to see a doctor. Stress on the body from lack of sleep can cause all kinds of issues.

While lack of sleep will not directly cause a stroke, it certainly may kick off a series of events that may. However, you are only 15. Unless you have a serious blood clotting disorder, a large PFO or major heart/lung condition (like AVM), or some other situation that would raise your risk for blood clots, the chances are very slim that a lack of sleep would cause a stroke.

No - a stroke happens when blood/oxygen is cut off from the brain from a clot. Nothing to do with being tired or lack of sleep.
