Perhaps we've evolved a bit beyond that... We've had fire for a long time as a species, so I would think that we can function even in the dark. If you slept for over 12 hours during 3 days without electricity, then you're probably just really tired. But in controlled lab studies in complete isolation without any outside light cues, humans rarely need any more than 9 hours.
But aren't you groggy for your Tuesday class? I used to do that too - vary my schedule from day to day. But then I end up tired for important things a lot. Like a test. So now that I'm in the "real world" I do get enough sleep finally, and I even wake up at the same time on weekends. I feel so much less stressed this way, and I'm able to concentrate better too. Here's are some "rules" about sleep.

http://www.sleepphones.com/sleep_apnea Other signs of Sleep Apnea are listed on this page.
obesity
short neck (like a football lineman, not like a ballerina)
thick neck
receding chin or jaw (the opposite of a prominent chin)
large tonsils, and
low uvula position when checking the throat (the uvula's the thingy that hangs down in the back of the throat when you say "ah"). This may be from a big tongue or a low soft palate. A big uvula is also a bad sign.
I'm losing sleep in the way that I'm having to work harder to make money because SOMEONE in the white house is wasting my money. It's a huge drain to our economy, which is why we're so poor and why we have to work 2 jobs just to get by. That, of course, keeps us from getting enough sleep!
Oh yeah! I've heard about the Sleep Phones thing with the whole brainwave entrainment. http://www.sleepphones.com/
Do you know if it works? Is that what you use?
But you're really supposed to get up at the same time every single day. According to my doctor, if you are "catching up" then that's a sign that you're not getting enough sleep. (I've had lots of problems in college, so I've been to see specialists and that's what they say.)
I know that I need a full 8 hours or else I'll have to catch up on weekends.
Here's a neat tool to find out just how much sleep you need.

I did the whole 2 week trial and determined that I have to have those eight hours. Now that I'm out of college and working, it's a lot easier to do that.

Somebody's gotta keep track of it.
