Sleep - how many hours?

So I’ve always needed more sleep than most I’m awful on less sleep. Recently I was only getting 5-6 hours not enough for me. So instead of going to bed 1130 or midnight I’ve tried to go to bed at 10pm but finding myself waking between 5-6 as it seems my body really doesn’t want to sleep more than 7 hours but I get exhausted as the day goes on so could really do with sleeping til at least 645. Have to wake kids at 7.

Any tips!

It might not be the length of time but the actual quality of your slew that makes you feel tired.

Seven hours of light sleep isn’t as good as 5/6 six hours of deep sleep.
