Often you would need less sleep the earlier you go to bed. I have virtually no metabolic clock when it comes to sleeping as I've screwed it up over the course of years of playing games and stuff till late.
So, now I simply sleep the hours I need, regardless of when that happens (if there's nothing I must do at a specific time, which would make me set the alarm clock). I'm trying to fix that, but it's pretty hard as I must maintain the schedule manually even after, say, three months of fixed sleeping schedule, because even three months isn't enough for me to set that routine to default.
But, that's beside the point:) My point is, that I've been sleeping in all the periods you can imagine around the clock (literally all, every part of the day, I've covered it). And the thing is, if you sleep during the day (I don't mean napping, I mean the "big" sleep), you will need like 10-13 hours or so and you will feel like shit, not only when you get up, but the whole day throughout. And if you go to sleep at like 23h, you would jump out of the bed at 5 or something like that.
At least that should be the rule and if you ask me, it works, I've tested it:) I'm the "10h of sleep" guy, I am LITERALLY screwed up all day if I sleep, say, 7h or 8h. I really mean it:)
But, if I somehow get to the point where I feel sleepy and can in fact go to sleep at 23h or midnight, I get up at 6-7 and run around in circles like a squirrel:)
Now, of course, it's individual in some aspects and to some degree. Tesla slept for like 4 hours or something.
But two things are generally important and they reduce duration of sleep and increase the amount of rest:
-schedule
-making your night sleep the "nightiest" possible (go to bed with the dark and get up in the dawn and you may hit the 5h mark even).
