 It's possible you are oversleeping at 8 
 huh

i've been trying to work out when's the best for me to go to bed and how much to sleep

any guidance? 
 Try different amounts until you find what's right for you

10 is very likely to be wrong

Sometimes less is more

Do not look at any screens 1 hr before sleep 
 so 10 is too much you're saying?

what about naps? are they good or do they mess up the rhythm?

the screen thingy felt like a personal attack, so it's time to change that 😆 
 If you feel drowsy with 8 hours, try 7, not 9. If you're super sensitive, you can even try to fine-tune it, like 7.5 hours. But it sounds unlikely that you feel well sleeping 9, 10 hours regularly (barring some sort of condition). 
 maybe i'm just a master eeper

my record is 15 hours in a row (don't recommend)

i'll try out a regular time of going to bed and waking up without an alarm clock, to see what my body feels like
