Anyone feel better with less sleep than recommended?

I was trying to sleep more to reach some fitness goals I have. Only problem was when I was sleeping 8hours a day I felt sluggish all day. My optimal sleep is 6-7 hours. It took me a long time to figure this out. Anyone with me?

You're only talking about a hour difference

No. I used to sleep in until noon before I have kids, now I am up at 7 every morning and it fricking sucks. Morning people are the worst people on earth and anyone that willingly misses out on sleep isn't right in the head

It makes a difference for me. I thought just like you do for a long time.

I'm mid 20s so maybe as I age my optimal sleep time will go up.

As you mature you need less sleep. This isn't ground breaking.

I feel more alert and energized after 6 hours than I do with 8 hours.

Yea that's what I'm saying. Some people are taking it the wrong way. In the moment I want to keep sleeping. However, my energy is much better with 6 or 7 than 8plus after I get moving.

I feel best after about 5.5 hours.

And don't know because between work and kids and spending some time with the wife I never get close to 8 hours

Everyone's body is different. I saw an interview with some player for the Texans and he said he asked JJ Watt what was his secret, because he always has so much energy even after practice & games. He told him sleep. He sleeps 10 hrs a day. Your body heals when its sleeping, I get about 7 hrs a night, but sometimes I feel like I need extra sleep. I will make it up on the weekends if I can.

I've always been a night owl and often find I'm most productive between 9-2am. It was when I was GA'ing in college that I realized I could survive on about half the sleep I had been getting. Ever since then, i'm fine with about five hours a night, and can do okay for four or five days with four. Occasionally, I'll sleep in and log six or seven on a Saturday/Sunday.

You could be affected by when you are waking up in your sleep cycle.

i go to bed between 12:30-1am most nights and wake up at 6. i need a 20-30 minute nap every day when i get home though.

Absolutely. I can relate to this.

When I was in college I could not function on 4-5 hours of sleep very well. Usually got 9-10 depending on how late my classes were. Now that I'm 36, I can't sleep in anymore (up at 6-7AM not matter what) and I feel best at around 6 hours per night. Basically I'm requiring less and less sleep the older I get. Also when I used to be hungover in college, I could sleep it off all day. Now hangovers are full of anxiety and no sleeping whatsoever.
