Don't they encourage you [with drugs] to sleep all the time or at least as much as possible, at your location.
Less work for them.

Here's a sleep calculator! You might get even less than you think.

I just tried it and because I wake up during the night it tells me I only get 6.5 hours of sleep from 8 hours of being in bed. 🙁

I can give you an answer if you are willing to take a short quiz?

1) How old are you?

2) Are you overweight?

3) Have you ever been checked for sleep apnea?

4) Do you do any physical activity during the day?

Your response is important cause you could be close to death... 🙁

Ok, take this sleep test and tell me what it says:

I have my suspicions, but I'd like to verify them.

that test is common sense...time between when you fall asleep and wake up minus the time you are awake in between...the problem i have is when i have to get up at 6-7am. when i have the opportunity to sleep in i can go to bed at 1am and get up at 12noon. but i can never fall asleep untill around 1am even after a long week

It calculates more than that. For example, if you went to bet at 3:00 am, woke up 3 times only for a few minutes and then slept till 10:00 am, the time is 7 hours minus a few minutes... But in reality, it took you some time to fall asleep, and each time you woke up it took a lot more than just a few minutes to get back into the "deep sleep" that your body requires.

So for the above case, it would be typical to only get an actual 4-5 hours of deep sleep.

If you don't maintain the status of "deep sleep", often called "REM sleep", your body will be very tired the next day.

I'm sorry to say that I don't have an answer for you. But being aware of the problem (that you aren't spending enough time in REM sleep) may be a place for a professional to help.
