8+ might be too much for you.

My sweet spot is around ~7 hours. Less than 6.5 and more than 8 makes me feel the same, but if I manage to sleep around 7, it's completely a different story.

I drink 3-4 cups of coffee daily, maybe that smooths things out :)

No, it won't, honestly.

I was drinking 2L/day at my peak, while I was sleeping 6 hours a day (Ph.D. corrections). It gives you awakeness, but the not the concentration of a well rested mind.

Nothing replaces sleep, since your brain flushes its toxins through your spine to be expelled from your body.

Sleep is underrated and deprivation of it kills you slowly.

I work way better with half a mug of coffee (a Starbucks tall) and proper sleep than two Ventis and not enough sleep.

You mean you don't want those delicious Alzheimer's-related beta-amyloid plaques? For shame!
