The article was, I think (can't remember - must be missing some sleep),
suggesting about two hours' missed sleep. However, as you point out
below, some people need more and some less anyway. No doubt it has to be
calibrated on an individual basis.

Oversleep affects me the same way; 7-8 hours seems OK to me, although in
the past I found 6 hours even better once I got used to it - but I
wasn't attempting any studies either.

Hard to say, really, isn't it?
