I usually sleep only 5-6 hours a night, anything more then that I actually feel WORSE throughout the day. I am being scheduled for a sleep study, yet I feel as if I am getting enough sleep... anyone else in that boat? Is it possible to actually dislike sleep?

I don't dislike sleep...in fact I love it. The minute my head hits the pillow I'm out, but I only get 5-6 hours per day. I don't see anything wrong with it.2

Is it because of work? Or you just decide to sleep that long?

I also get around 5 or 6 hours sleep per night. Often get to bed after midnight and awake at 5:00am.
A recent quote from an inspirational speaker suggested we should always go to bed at least 7 hours before the time we intend to wake up. So I really need to be asleep by 10:00 or 10:30pm to accomplish that.1 -

My body naturally wakes up after 5-6 hours, regardless of whether I go to bed at early or late.

That’s when I’m on the treadmill so I physically wouldn’t be able to. How does your body react usually with those little hours ? Are you lethargic? I feel like around 3 pm I need to take a 5-6 min nap, and I do.

Sleep is Great!
It's like being dead... without the permanent commitment.

I don't like the feeling of falling asleep or not knowing what's going on around me.1

If you dislike sleep, start working overnight shifts. You'll find out how much you love sleep after all. And you'll constantly be denied deep restorative sleep. Because daytime sleep pales in comparison to natural sleep at night as nature designed it. Sleep is one of the greatest parts of life. I crave it personally and I stalk it but I can never seem to get it.
I worked mid shifts for 6 Year’s and then went to school full time during the day, I know the pain!

Exactly this. I’m lucky if I get 5 hours, that would be a good night.2 -
I dislike that I don't get enough sleep and my face hates it!0

Didn't it make you love sleep though?
No. Because it got in the way.

I wish that was the case, I am an extremely light sleeper, I hear everything. I have the fan on high all seasons to block out noise.

I generally get 8-9 hrs a night...I'm asleep by 9pm most nights. I love sleep. I would sleep 10+ if I could.
Maybe you don't like sleep b/c you aren't getting enough to be restorative?0 -

Some people can function fine on 5-6 hours a night, but you also said you nap during meetings and at 3. Why are you going in for a sleep study if you feel great with 5-6 hours? A sleep study is scheduled by your doctor when you have concerns about falling asleep etc. So what made you think, or your doctor think you needed a sleep study?1 -

I’m not getting complete sleep, when I’m sleeping I feel as I’m awake, Also my heart rate (according to my iwatch) drops down to 43-49 BPM. Sleep Apnea ?

I sleep around 8-10 hours a day. One of the cats will always find a way to wake up though. It helps that I work from home, no commute0
