I have to say anyone who says insomnia isn't a big deal cause we shouldn't sleep as much as we do doesn't actually know what insomnia is.
Its not the inability to get 8 hours sleep in a night, it's the inability to get any meaningful (deep) sleep for prolonged periods of time. The people I know with insomnia are virtual zombies when it strikes them. It's not their bodies telling them they've had enough sleep.
As for how long you sleep, there's no hard and fast rule about how much sleep you need so if you're someone who can get by on 6 hours, great, if not, sleep more. It doesn't mean the person who sleeps for 8 instead of 6 is doing it wrong it just means that's what their body needs.
Personally I think the sleep you need has a lot to do with your state of mind (content vs depressed) and your personal bodies metabolism.
