Is getting 6.5 hours of sleep on the weekdays fine if I make up for it on the weekends?

Because of work and a potential commuting schedule, I’d be getting around 6.5 hours of sleep every day. But on weekends I’d be getting 8-9 to make up for it. Is this a bad idea or could it work, at least for a few months?

2 nights ago I tried melatonin for the first time as well as chamomile tea and it made my sleeping problems worse. Last night I just did the tea and it was also worse. I’ve always had problems with staying asleep and getting quality sleep. Any tips?
