Wow! someone other than my dad(and boyfriend) that has a preferred sleep pattern like mine. Seems rare in people under 50, apparently. I get the headache thing too - but I can occasionally manage a mega-long weekend lie in til about 8:30.
I can do on 5 hours for a while, 7 for quite a while, but left to my own devices, I'll end up getting 9.5 hours of 'in bed' time. (I wake 2-10 times a night - 5 hours is the most I ever sleep on one stretch).
one of my favourite sleep quotes (from 'The Promose of Sleep'). "We should be no more ashamed of needing 10 hours sleep than of taking a size 10 shoe"

I need 7-7 and a half most of the time, and at least one night a week of eight hours or I start getting miserable.
