Is there a difference between me sleeping 7.5 hours and 8 hours if I go to bed around 11:45 PM and wake up at 7:15 AM without an alarm? I've been waking up consistently around 7:15 AM for the past 7 days, and I feel awake. I've read Matthew Walker's book, and he suggests always getting 8 hours of sleep, but I'm concerned about whether I really need that much sleep or if 7.5 hours is sufficient. I also follow the QQRT rules and do 10 minutes of meditation and 10 minutes of NSDR every day.
How long does it take to adjust to a time schedule? I've been waking up at 6 AM quite consistently, but I can't seem to fall asleep at 10 PM. Due to this, I have to take breaks from sleeping and do something relaxing, which means that on average I get around 6 hours of sleep or less.
Does the inconsistency in my sleep schedule, where I go to bed by 7:30 p.m. on weekdays and may stay up until 11:00 or 11:30 p.m. on weekends, affect my health if I still get 8 hours of sleep?
