There is no such rule that we have to complete 8 hours of sleep. It can be 6 hours as well. Quality rather than quantity if sleep that needs to be focused.
There are many things that can affect sleep quality like anxiety, tension, lifestyle choices, change in places etc.
Next Steps
As of now you can download any sleep tracker apps and track your sleep for 2 weeks and find out average daily sleeping hours.

Maintaining sleep hygiene techniques would help
No day time sleeping
Limited intake of coffee and tea, avoid after 4PM
Limiting your mobile phone usage , not to use just before going to sleep
Only go to bed when you are sleepy
Don't keep checking time after going to bed
Do physical exercise daily for atleast 20 mins
Light reading or listening to light music if not able to sleep would help
Keeping regular schedules for dinner and bedtime also would help ( maintain same to go to bed daily )
Inspite of practising this if you have sleep disturbances need to consult psychiatrist in person
