@coela -- same here!
ever since the 90s (when "sleep disorder centers" were becoming a thing), the running joke is that i would finally go to one of these places, they would ask, "when was the last time you had a good night's sleep?" and my response would be, "1968!"
thing is NOW, even if i am up at all sorts of crazy hours, i have NO energy -- like if i had insomnia years ago, i was at least able to do stuff

for a few weeks now it's been 2 to 2.5 hours/night every other night; and on the alternate nights it's usually 5 to 5.5 hours, with interruptions - with an occasional 10-11 hour marathon.
those alternate nights seem to be enough though to give me generally pretty good energy.
