Sleep Duration and Quality

@ketomonster I believe you are correct.. I know that I need more rest and recovery however I have so much energy and I am truly enjoying the gym now it’s very difficult for me to take that rest time! Ha

@Scott F. Thanks for the information Scott. I am also that weirdo at the gym at 4:30 AM! The correlation between milk and weight loss makes perfect sense, I will keep that in mind. I have quit so many unhealthy things in the last 3 months, the nicotine and caffeine seem nearly impossible to stop, but I feel so incredible on carnivore I know it is possible. Also, I agree with your sentiment about the pizza and extra sleep.. I truly feel like my body actually just needed to sleep longer to help get rid of all those carbs and seed oils.

just based on what I've heard about working out and stress etc. you might try increasing your rest and recovery from your gym sessions. Im old and I workout 6 days per week and sleep the same amount as you currently. But have some joint pain I know that is from working out. So Im gonna scale back and see how I feel etc. I know my body is under stress cause that's what exercise is.

Without the nicotine and caffeine your six hours may increase, maybe not a full 1.5 to 2 hours you are looking for, but I would guess it would be an increase.
Our sleep is nearly identical. I am a lifelong shift worker. I always have slept from around 9 to around 3AM when sleeping at night. If I am sleeping the daytime (which I sleep better during the day) I sleep from 9AM til about 4PM.
The difference for on carnivore is that when I wake, I am up. There is no rolling over and going back to sleep. Even my days off start about 4AM. I am one of those "weirdos" in the gym at 4:30AM.
My sleep is solid and I awake feeling well rested. I am probably in that 6-hour range as well.
As far as the pizza and the nine hours, that is well beyond me. Other than the stomach yelling at the brain saying, "I'm going to be here awhile with this extra stuff-keep him down for a couple extra hours".
I too drink milk. I don't drink a gallon a day and don't drink it every day but three to four times per week. When I was losing weight (95lbs over 12-13 months or so) anytime I drank milk it was like an automatic stall. One glass of milk seemed to stop my weight loss in its tracks. Once I started hovering around 95lbs lost I picked back up on the milk.
Good luck. Hopefully you can find those other two hours of sleep.

Thank you Geezy for the response. I will continue to monitor my sleep as I slowly taper down the coffee and nicotine and report back. I appreciate your insight!
