I don't know why it is, but I can be more alert and lucid after getting only four hours of sleep than I can after getting nine hours of sleep. I'm guessing you weren't very comfortable last night, were you? It might have been harder, then, to get a deep sleep.

I've been having a similar problem recently. Sleeping for a good amount of time but being really tired when waking up, seems like I wake up quite a bit in the night which disrupts my sleep.

I think that when you wake up after 4 hours of sleep feeling more rested means that you woke up at the end of your sleep cycle. You can sleep longer, but waking up in the middle makes you all BLEH. Also waking up during the night even for a second is a real problem. I've been a lucid dreamer since I was about 8, and being all to aware that I am in a dream often makes me wake up. Though I kind of like that, I once played chess with myself all night. Twas freaky and cool.
