Without knowing you my question is how can we know that you won't benefit from 8 hours? The research suggests 8 hours is optimal. It also suggests that people who are sleep deprived have a new baseline and may not be aware that they once felt better and could again feel better with a lifestyle modification.

As to not needing the alarm clock, I experience that as well. I would think that is actually quite common with training.
