How old are you? Sleep patterns change over time, and what you're describing sounds as though you might be, roughly, early 20s? If so, your sleep patterns are likely to change pretty radically over hte next few years, towards earlier sleeping and rising.
As for the feeling better from less sleep, though, that sounds like me -- I feel *much* better and more capable when I haven't eaten. That's a big part of anorexia for me. When I don't sleep, I get to feeling kinda speedy, which is maybe akin to what you're describing? It's not a good thing, no matter how good it may feel. You'll be doing yourself a favor by working to get that full 8 hours. You just might find that you're not quite as capable as you thought when you're going without sleep.
Just a few thoughts...
