I read about a very interesting research that was done where they too people and placed them in undeground bunkers (willingly). They then took away all references to time and they were given loads of creative stimulation.[...]
They found that the average person only slept 4.4 hours a day.
Could you point to a source for the number?

Starting with a 6/1.5 split and working down sounds like a good option. Keep in mind, however, that it only took a week or so for your body to adjust to the new schedule the first time; so 'work down' fairly aggressively
If the theory that you should sleep multiples of 90 minutes at a time is right (4,5/1,5 seems to be based on it) working down shouldn't really work, because time spent sleeping is not converted in a liniar fashion into "rest at night".
