But I do another curious thing that is rather odd. Just before I go to sleep, like a split second before, I twitch. My whole body tenses up, I sort of jump, then I am out. EVERY TIME. It is odd. I am not sure why, but I do have seizures that are cured only by taking medication. Perhaps it is from that in which I twitch before falling asleep.

I've had only limited opportunity to try it (having a toddler who sleeps poorly imposes some constraints) but based on that limited experience 7.5 hours does actually feel more restful to me than 8.

My sleep habits vary by season as with many others but tend to have insomiac patterns between 4 am and 6 am. That said, I've noticed a curiosity of late that if an insomnia starts, I will prop up the pillows and push my back against them in a sitting position and then initiate a breathing/meditation session. Very often this will put me back to sleep within 10 - 15 minutes. Upon waking in the upright sitting position, it seems easier thereafter to lay back down and resume sleeping if I feel the need.
