Consistency and quality of sleep are also important factors, but so is your diet and the times you eat.
Feeling well rested after a night of sleep requires much more than "8 hours sleep".
I sometimes have the feeling that I'm only getting REM sleep.
Of cause that can't be true, but I don't think it's thaaaat far off.
Just curious, what makes you think you're only getting REM?
Speaking as someone dxed with narcolepsy, a sleep disorder where you get a disproportionate amount of REM. There are a lot of conditions--sleep disorders and otherwise--that can cause excessive sleeping and daytime fatigue.
Not to say that it isn't sometimes just a matter of sleep habits or consistency, but my advice is that it can't hurt to speak with a doctor about your symptoms if you have the chance. :)
Well it can also be the case that I just have a very good dream memory, but I noticed that I can relatively easaly drift into a dream while being aware of my environment even when I was fully awake before. Not always though.
I also can remember having 4-10 dreams in a night. Of cause we don't only dream in the REM sleep so it's kinda hard to keep track of how much I actually sleep.
I probably just have a pretty good dream memory and have a very light sleep
