When I do some good strength training, I go into a much deeper sleep and feel much more rested with only around 6 hours.
There's a book called the Pleasure Trap that has an excellent perspective on sleep, among many other things.

Thadroe, that book looks good. Any others you'd recommend?
Incidentally, I find the same thing re lifting weights. Much better sleep.
