To feel fresh in the morning, I don't think it's the amount of hours you sleep, but the part of your sleep cycle when you get up. If you get up in the middle of a "deep sleep" cycle, you'll feel tired, but if you get up in a "light sleep", you'll feel ok. That is an over-simplification, of course, but it is related to REM (Rapid Eye Movement) and other phases of sleep. It would help you too, to take a short nap during thee next day.

- drKarl 15y agoHere you have a better explanation of sleep cycles http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep#Sleep_stages http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep#Sleep_stages You can also try polyphasic sleep. The easiest form of polyphasic sleep is biphasic sleep (with a nap), but there are other sleep regimes which can take you a month or two to get used to, but people who have tried them say gives them lots of time to do everything. The most difficult to adhere is Uberman, and most people who have tried it say that Everyman is quite easier to get used to. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphasic_sleep http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphasic_sleep There is much information regarding this subject on the internet, so just google for more information if you are interested on this.
