I agree. That amount of sleep can't be healthy. I read a story about a startup founder who was pushing himself that hard for a long time. Even though he exercised regularly and had a great diet, he died young of cardiac arrest. I don't remember any mention of a prior condition, but remember that his sleep schedule was strongly suspected of causing his heart to weaken.

I agree that it's not enough for the majority of people (myself included), but I have a great aunt that has, for her entire life, slept four hours a night (midnight to 4am). She's a retired school teacher, no commitments that are keeping her awake, and that's still the schedule she keeps. She apparently just doesn't need as much sleep as most people do.
