I've read this several times but never heard it explained...

that sleeping less, like 6-7 hours a night, is better for your confidence

now I always just figured it meant that you are awake longer so you have more time to be out in the world building confidence

but does it have another meaning? like some sort of bodily functions like too much sleep has some chemical meaning?

Sleeping less makes you more sleepy. Fact.

no, that is not a fact. I find it to be the complete opposite in fact. Once I get into a rythm of 6-7 hours of sleep I am far more awake and balanced during the day than if I slept for 8-9 hours.

Yes, because you're in rhytm and because you sleep for approximately the same amount of time every day. I tried adjusting to sleeping like 8 hours per day regularly and I felt a lot better than when I slept 6 hours per day regularly. But due to my schedule and my unwillingness to sleep I'm back at 6 now.
I think it's the thing where you feel fine but there's still a little sleepiness inside of you that you're not completely aware of, but it's there.

panda,

I was referring to when I were in 8-9 hour cycles.

it may also have something to do with the fact that between the age of 15 to 19, one does seem to require more sleep than otherwise.

If you actually want to get up early in the morning (I do, as I love mornings) then try getting a 20-30 minute nap between 15.30 and 18.00 and there really should be no problem keeping up a lower sleep routine.
