Hello Lisa.
I haven't noticed a radical change in my sleeping habits whenever I adjust my pm dosage. While it's typically true people need 7+ hours of sleep every night to feel rested, I think there is a minority who can do just as well on fewer hours of sleep.
There have been times (prior to NBE and afterwards) when I notice my body can go into a sort of power sleep mode in which I feel rested after only 4-5 hours of sleep. Typically though, I have to have been engaging in hard physical work throughout the day. I like to think of it as my body being much more efficient with the sleeping process when I don't have the luxury of getting much sleep. Just as the body can utilize adrenaline to provide a short burst of extra strength, so can the body also do more with less I think in regards to sleep. Maybe in a week or two, you might feel very tired and end up sleeping for twelve hours straight. Afterwards, your body may readjust to your prior sleeping schedule. Barring a physical or mental health condition, I think the body knows how much sleep it needs and will let you know when you're getting too much or not enough sleep.
