– Why is it that the later I go to bed and the earlier I wake up, I feel more alert?

Question

Whilst I feel groggy every morning, I notice that I operate better when I don’t oversleep, if I stay up late and get up somewhat early, let’s say maybe 6 hours sleep, why is this? They say people need 7 / 8 hours of adequate sleep for good health.

Answer 1

I have the exact same thing actually. It’s why I also get grumpy in the weekends; no reason to get out of bed so I oversleep, then I get grumpy.
