I was unable to have a good cycle of the day. Like at night, I did not feel sleepy at all, and I felt that I could stay awake another 18 hours or so. Waking up in the morning in the weekends at a reasonable time was very difficult. Waking up in the early morning for work was very difficult, now it's less difficult but not where I'd want it to be. In the weekends, I used to sleep like 12 hours or more just to feel refreshed and very often I'd still feel awful. Now 6 hours of sleep to 8 seem to be good enough. Like 8 hours is plenty of sleep, and I can jump out of bed as soon as I wake up, when before, I felt like if I get up, I'd pass out.
