@thanksaj have you actually done this long enough to determine that you aren't just continuously catching up on lost sleep?
Yes. A very bad time in my life when I practically lived in my bed...

Well there IS a threshold that you can pass that makes you tired again. Maybe you just can't find a healthy balance?

It was more because of one of the most severe bouts of depression I've ever faced...

I know I should be getting more sleep - 6 or less just isn't really cutting it.

As of late, I've been getting 7-9, but 6 or less has been standard for over a decade as the predominant rule.

Same here - and I require an alarm to get up - though I've only over slept into my shift once in the past 8 years.
But I agree with Scott - I'm not getting enough sleep - when I do I easily wake without an alarm.

I generally wakeup before my alarm. But if it is what wakes me up the snooze button gets used many times. So I know my day is going to be a long one cause I am already tired before I even start.

I've gone over a month with zero schedule now and I still wake up after six hours. No alarm, no rolling over and going back to sleep. Six hours and I pop out of bed and start the day.

Yeah, I hate the transition between bed and up more than anything else in the world...

I dislike transitions in general. From sitting to standing, getting off of the couch, getting into bed, getting out of bed, getting into the shower, getting out of the shower, starting to each, stopping eating. Doesn't matter, I always like to continue what I am currently doing. It's weird.

I can appreciate that. I hate getting into the shower almost as much as I hate getting out! I just dislike change in general.
