It has a significant impact on my emotional enjoyment. I feel happier, less grumpy, less anxious, when I sleep my full 8

  I feel less grumpy and less anxious, each time I sleep my full 8, but I'd be hesitant to equate that sensation with "happier". If I do that for an extended period of time, I feel bored, existential, "socially unproductive", and begin to get a creeping sense of being a rat in a ratrace. If I sacrifice some of those 8 hours, I feel grumpy, moody, occasionally a bit depressed, but overall get to do more small day-to-day things of value that give me a genuine sense of fulfillment on top of that.

Have you considered that your life is boring and that you're actually participating in a rat race and sleep is allowing you to identify that?

        So you aren't really "happier", you've just chosen a self-prescribed medication to make you seem happier?

      That's life for most people. Have you been born yesterday?
