5 to 6 hours is wonderful! So many newbies can hardly get to an hour when they start. If the straps are digging into your face to that extent, they're probably too tight. I think the tendency to pull the straps really tight is a mistake we usually make at the beginning.

So far as still being tired, have you read up on sleep debt? Dr. Dement's book, The Promise of Sleep, explains it.

Good luck to you.
