Normally, when I have 8+ hours of sleep, I have pretty good social skills.
At 6 hours they've deteriorated.

No one will be expecting for you to be sociable, smiling, bright-eyed and energetic past your second week, Prospective Buffoon. You displaying any of those attributes == you do not have nearly enough work/ you are the most annoying person in the twelve-cubicle vicinity.
This does not apply to the post-MBA Associates who wee-wee-wee all the way home once the almighty seniors depart in order to "take care of an emergency" (ie Neti Pot their noses, recite motivational mantras in front of a reflective surface, further develop their deep quantitative knowledge by putting in some time with their little tikes® MyFirstCalculator and/or sleep).
