I used to get 6 hours or so and felt terrible all the time. After I quit my job I stopped using alarm clocks, and find that I naturally wake up after 8-9 hours.

I used to get 6 hours or so and felt terrible all the time. After I quit my job I stopped using alarm clocks, and find that I naturally wake up after 8-9 hours.
