I think it’s more likely I just don’t need a lot of sleep and it doesn’t matter when that happens.

These days I average 7h/night and I’m ridiculously well rested. In high school and college I could go weeks on 4h/night.

7 hours is the low end of the normal range.

How do you reconcile "it doesn’t matter when" and "The result is that I get better sleep"?

It’s better in that there’s more of it because I spend less time trying to work on personal projects when I’m already tired from dayjob and am more effective.

The actual sleep quality depends more on how much regular exercise I get and eating well than it does on timing. Unless I’m literally jetlagged.
