As for me I need at least 6-7 hours sleep per night but I can stretch it to 5 hours for a period of about 2 days, then I start feeling the pressure during the day. As I try to get a good balance of physhical exercise and mental study I think that is an important concerne. The ideal though would be 8 hours sleep per night. I feel the pressure specially on the difficult I sent to concentrate (reading, creative thinking, etc) not so much on the physical side. I found though that physical fatigue much interfer with your emotional performance. So I found out that I tend to be more negative and frustated toward life when I am tired and unrested.
I know physical exercice reduces substancially the necessity of sleep. I agree with that by personal experience, but as I can see you like yoga keep in mind the word of Budha: " Everything must be balanced in life". If you want to produce nice harmonious music the strings of the playing instrument must be tuned. Not too loose, not too streched. That's the philosophy I try to follow on my everyday life.
On the other side, we must sometimes push our limits or we will not develop. On my personal experience I know that is true on physical exercise. If I don't push a little everyday I keep always the same rythm.
I think the secret is to find your own balance. Since it is different for everybody it is difficult to find a general rule and that's why so many fail to find it. I think the key is to find it within yourself!

Keep going, never give up! Good luck!
