I personally find that I need a lot of sleep 8.5-9 hours a night and when I sleep 7.5-8 hours per night (due to necessity) my performance suffers greatly. Now I understand that when you change sleeping habits, there is an adjustment period, but the previous statement is true (for me) even after that adjustment period is taken into consideration. I've tried gradual adjustments and rapid adjustments (not the same thing as brute force) and neither method worked well. So what point is there is having an extra hour in the day if you are operating a 25% capacity ? And is there a way to sleep less and still be able to perform at full capacity ? My current strategy is to aim to get up at a certain time (dictated by existing commitments) but let my body wake itself up naturally. ie don't use an alarm. When I do this I still feel tired during the day, but because I woke up more naturally, the effect is minimised. Very interesting post.
