because your wife said you snore and stop breathing sometimes, you got a standard sleep study. that test showed you were normal, but should get more sleep. you tried (and succeeded) getting more sleep, but complain it didn't improve anything. But you didn't express any initial deficits to begin with, just that your wife said you snore and sometimes stop breathing which doctors have said that in your case was not a problem. You even state that you are not a tired person. I don't understand what you are so disappointed and mistrustful of? What's your complaint? Did you think the hour extra sleep would stop you from snoring? Getting enough sleep is very important, I recommend you stick with the extra hours.

I felt that more sleep led to a worse life. I was less happy and had less time in my day. I wasn't tired so I didn't understand the benefit of the sleep. I came with a real and specific problem that I wanted to resolve and I felt like I was getting, "that problem isn't important, here is what I think is important."

  snoring by itself is not a problem; it can be indicative of dangerous sleep interruption with oxygen starvation. you don't have that problem. that's a good thing. some of the suspected problems with lack of sleep emerge over a long period of time and are not "felt" on a day to day basis. You should worry if you are getting less than 7 hrs on the daily. But otherwise you are in good shape and should be happy with the reassurance that your sleep study provided. potential link between too little sleep and dementia: "Sleep well — and reduce your risk of dementia and death "Two studies show that sleeping six hours or less in midlife can increase dementia risk by 30% or more.
