The page linked by wpietri [0] [1] is worth reading. Guzey engages in a conversation with someone named Phil who did a "PhD in a circadian rhythms/sleep lab". No firm conclusions, but topics include how applicable animal models are to humans, and the difficulty of producing conclusive evidence about sleep in humans. Plenty of references, and little argument that aspects of Walker's book seem sensationalist.
