Yes, but it may have nothing to do with the sleep itself. It may have been that those who slept only 6 hrs sleep did so because they were very lively people who worked hard and kept themselves fit. The 6 hours sleep could be a red herring. I know loads of slobs who work in my industry who drink way too much, eat cr@p and fall asleep on the couch around 2 am and are still in work next day at the given hour.

I could bet my house that they WILL develop cancer at a higher rate then the average, evn though they average 6 hours sleep.
