I'm in a similar boat. 5-6 hours seems to be perfect. I typically go to bed between Midnight and 1AM. My alarm is set for 6:30AM, some mornings I am up before it, sometimes I hit the snooze button for that extra 7 minutes it gives me.
There is the odd time I go to bed between 3AM and 5AM, and still up before 7:00AM. I will admit those days are not a walk in the park, but I certainly don't go about my day like a zombie. I'm still functioning and get my work done, though I may be a little more irritable than normal.
For what it's worth, I'm in my mid-twenties. It's possible I'm still too young to value sleep.
