I also think nothing is wrong with you. Everyone needs a certain amount of sleep.

When i got up at a different time every day, i needed more and more sleep and never felt really awake. As i try to wake up at 7 every day now, i even wake up before my alarm around that time! I also need less and less sleep. But i will never go crazy with sleeping to little, i just follow my body's wishes because you really need sleep!

So my advice is to wake up at the same time every day and go sleep when you feel you are getting tired. Basically what Steve P. also adviced in his article about sleep.
