Yea it is possible to feel energized off of less than 7 hours of sleep, is it healthy? I'm going to go with no on that one. However, conditioning your body to a specific sleeping schedule is totally possible. I have a friend that had a 7 hour part time job every day after school. He wouldn't get back home until 11 most of the times and that left him with 5 hours of sleep each night because he would also get up earlier than normal to work out before school. I asked him about it one day, "How do you do it?". His reply was, "I've been doing it for a while now man to the point where it doesn't affect me anymore. I feel just as good as someone whose gotten 7 or 8 hours of sleep".
I really think that this in some way affects your sleep debt regardless of the fact that you could be used to a sleep schedule like that of 5 hours a night. And if you're trying to get good at Lucid Dreaming, 7 hours or less of sleep a night is not ideal to daily lucids. According to recent studies, teenagers alone need 9 to 10 hours of sleep a night but school highly interferes with that. Adults need 7-8, I've seen the hours for which they need to sleep vary on multiple sites.
To sum it all up, if you adjust yourself to a certain sleep schedule, and go to bed and wake up at the same times every night/day, you'll feel energized after some time because your internal clock will have readjusted. However, our natural unaffected internal clock for sleep runs by daylight. Sleep starting at sundown, and ending at sun up. That was before we had electricity though.
