YES: those 8 hrs are GOOD for you!
Frankly when I started zigzagging calories and first put the excess calories after a training day, I'd consistently sleep 9 hrs after a workout (and overfeeding) and 7 hrs after a rest day (and undereating). Things leveled off a bit when I reversed the carb loads and started taking them the night before a workout day (but officially including them in that day) and it became more like 8hrs overall.
And YAY on 5 wide pullups! I bet I can't even do 1 wide pullup.. too scared to try (damn shoulder!)
