Anecdotally I found that if I sleep less than but close to 6 hours I will feel it moderately during the day. If I sleep 7 it’s perfect. However when I oversleep 9+ hours my day is compromised. I wake up with a headache that subsides but low energy and low motivation mark the trend of the day.

When you say "9+ hours", is this bed time or actual sleep time? (I've been instrumenting my sleep lately, and the difference can be surprising.)

This sounds like a CO2 problem and not a sleep problem.

  I always sleep with a window open if you suggest a CO2 buildup in my room. It may indeed be CO2 related as I haven’t tested my sleep oxigen levels but how can 6-7 hours be just perfect and have a steep dropoff afterwards?

    CO2 poisoning as CO2 slowly build up in the room.

Do you drink coffee in the morning? The headache when oversleeping might be due to the lack of caffeine. It's surprisingly sensitive ime.
