Data point: I found mine to be between 25 and 26 hours.

Probably a contributing factor to difficulty in getting to sleep "at a good hour".

OTOH mild sleep deprivation has been shown to counter depression, so there's that.

Likewise but I've found small melatonin doses (plus reducing caffeine to once per day) to really help me conform to a 24 hour day. Worth trying if you haven't.

I tried melatonin. It gave me nightmares. Weird, but it was repeatable. So, my 0,02€.

This happens if I take too much melatonin. The dosage in US-sold melatonin is unnecessarily high. Finnish tablets are typically 1.9mg, while US ones can have 10mg in just one.

Luckily some people warned about this a lot online (not to take too much, most pills are too much) and I was able to find 1mg tablets on Amazon when I wanted some.

1mg or less seems to work best. Source: https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/07/10/melatonin-much-more-th...

I take melatonin (0.2mg via a spray). It is very effective. Nightmares are a recurring problem for me and other users I know, but can be solved with low doses and a lot of discipline.

There's this stuff at GNC called "Tri-Sleep". Imagine meletonin tablet effects x5. I don't get nightmares, but my dreams definitely get incredibly weird and more lucid. To be honest though, I definitely think I sleep deeper and longer when I take it amd feel more recovered. Again, anecedotal.

Anecdotally, me too. If not nightmares, very bizzare dreams that leave me feeling a bit weird for the day and I don't really feel nearly as rested as regular sleep, even if I sleep for longer.

I get those on valerian root myself.
