Yeah, I don't seem to function properly on anything but 7 - 7.5 hours of sleep...

I generally end up taking naps which wipe out my sleep schedule.

It is odd, if I take a 1 hour nap - I am not able to sleep for an entire night; I get VERY concentrated REM sleep during naps as opposed to my nightly resting period.

I might try altering my schedule a bit to test this out, maybe stay up till around 2 or 3 AM - get up at 5 or 6 and then take a 1 hour afternoon nap and repeat; that would be interesting...
