As a university student, the amount of sleep I get each night varies quite a bit, from around 9 hours (rare) to about 4 in some extreme cases. What I've found is that I feel good when I wake up after 8 or more hours. As the amount drops to 7.5 and decreases, I feel horrible when I wake up and begin nodding off uncontrollably during class, especially mid- to late-afternoon ones.
However, when the amount reaches 5 or less, I feel pretty good when I wake up, and I am sharper and more productive during the day. I assume that this has to do with the way the REM sleep phase syncs up with the time that I'm asleep, but I wanted to see if anyone else experiences anything similar?
