Why do i feel less tired with less sleep?

This sounds like it could be putting extra strain on your system in the long run. Especially with BP, consistent good quality sleep is very important. While you might feel energetic now, it's worth discussing this sleep pattern with your doctor during your next checkup. Don't take unnecessary risks with your health.

I totally get how confusing that can be! It's like your body is playing tricks on you. Sometimes when I've had less sleep but it was good quality, I feel more alert than after a long, restless night. It's a strange phenomenon, but you're not alone in experiencing it.

Oh my god, same! I always feel more productive and fresh if I get around 5-6 hours of sleep rather than trying for a full 8. If I oversleep, I just feel sluggish all day. Maybe our bodies are just wired differently? Just make sure whatever sleep you get is good sleep!

Namaste. Often, the quality of sleep matters more than just the duration. If your sleep is deep and restful, even shorter periods can be rejuvenating. Practices like guided meditation or gentle pranayama before bed can enhance sleep quality. However, consistently depriving yourself of sleep can have long-term effects, so listen to your body's true needs.
