I don’t even have to get up early, I work nights my alarm is set for like 11am lol. I just want to have a little time before work to hang out at home but my body just refuses.

    I work like 3-4 to midnight-1, depending on the day. So usually by the time I get home and go to sleep it’s like 2/3. I try to give myself eight hours but my body demands more lol.

      I think sleep cycles are more like 1.5 hours, so 8 hours is right in the middle of one. it's easier to get up after 7.5 or keep sleeping for a full 9. there are alarm apps for your phone that will use how much you're tossing and turning to decide when to ring the alarm. it doesn't work for me because of sleep meds making me very tired when I first wake up regardless and insomnia confusing those apps on when I actually fell asleep, but it works pretty well if you're more typical.
