Perhaps coincidentally, but I can rarely sleep more then 6 hours in a night. It seems that I've always been that way. My eyes just open after about 6 hours, and I feel the need to get out of bed. The only way I've ever been able to get more is when I'm hungover or ill.

I don't ever feel like I need to sleep more, but the anxiety I get from all the sleep studies telling me I do need to sleep more, sure does keep me up at night!

I wonder if you have either of the known genetic mutations related to a shorter sleep duration. I understand it's pretty rare, but some percentage of the population have them and you might be one of the lucky few!

Do you feel fully rested after 6 hours?

[stronglikedan]

Yes. In fact, I can't even nap most of the time, and I can easily stay up past my "standard" bedtime, if I'm not careful. I've even moved my run to second-thing-in-the-morning, to see if I became more tired in the evenings, but it doesn't make a difference.
