It's not really known yet. There's still an ongoing debate on whether we actually need sleep.
I'm pretty sure we do, both for physical and mental recovery. I once managed only sleeping 2-3 hours total in a 4 day span. I was partially insane and all but useless by day 5 . Now this cat is claiming he hasn't sleep in 11 years? No ****ing way.

I get about 6 hours sleep, usually. I don't find that I really need much.
I'm the same, 5-6 is my average.

Yeah, I personally think he's a lying mental case.
The theory is that REM sleep is what gives us whatever it is that we need from sleep. However, this point was sort of ruined when a man in Israel (I believe it was), was found to not have any REM sleep, after being injured by a bomb blast. Even though he never had any REM sleep, he was still perfectly functioning, both mentally and physically.
I feel like depending on what you do in the day can determine how much you sleep. Or I think some people are able get the REM sleep better (think thats the good sleep where is actually restores you, could be wrong). Its takes me sometime to actually nod off. I try a glass of wine, helps me a great deal
