Care to guess when I was most refreshed? If you guessed today (Friday), pat yourself on your back.
I prefer 6-7 hours of sleep for me, but 8 hours is not too much. So why did less sleep make me feel more rejuvenated?
I'll tell you why. I spent about 60 minutes studying fantasy sports, at least one hour playing Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (thanks Eric!), 30 minutes watching parts of South Park and Drawn Together, another 30 watching Cowboy Bebop, and maybe another 30 randomly browsing the web. Most importantly, I relaxed and allowed my conscious mind to take me to whatever pursuit I deemed interesting. It was better mental relaxation than sleep.
And it was awesome.

Hell yeah. What really kills me lately is getting home from work at like 8pm or later, and having no time for anything. I'll see if I can't learn from your example.
I've had the 8-9PM thing going for a while, though for me it's leaving work on time then going to softball or pep band.
Next week I only have 1 softball game and I've cancelled pep band once... it's going to be a glorious week.
