4 to 5 hours is not a healthy sleeping pattern. your body is charging it's batteries, now that your stress level is lower.

12 hours isn't shit for sleep when you're dead tired...and i'm talking being extremely active for long periods of time on little to no sleep. There were times I literally fell asleep while on humps...my body was still moving but I was out.

You'll be fine bro...after a few long sleep sessions try to reestablish a 7-8hr sleep cycle and you'll be good to go.

do you wake up feeling rested or are you still tired when you get up? You want less sleep.....have some kids.

Seriously though, if you're still tired waking up after that long it could be apnea or something along those lines.

try not smoking an hour or more before bed and see if that makes a difference. You might not be breathing real well and that's what's causing it or your lungs are kicking back all the stuff from throughout the day and that's causing you not to breath well.
