These claims are too simplistic and do not apply to individuals. I am 85 and using a sleep monitor I have found that it is the interaction between the circadian cycles of melatonin and cortisol that count. Normally cortisol level peaks around midnight with melatonin peaking after but it can be advanced or retarded based on many factors, for example the level and intensity of exercise during the day but, since cortisol is responsible for setting the clocks in all organs of the body other than the brain it can be affected by diet, eating pattern and other factors which is why we are advised not to drink coffee after noon or eat less than 3 hours before our sleep time. As for hours of sleep required what counts is the time in deep sleep and REM not total time. The time in deep sleep depends on the exercise level during the day, hence the need for repairs and this means it must be stimulated by cytokines linked to inflammation and the immune system or some other factor. Likewise REM depends on the level to which you use your brain during the day with engaging in intellectually demanding tasks requiring more REM that watching TV. I am a scientist, a physiologist and for my amusement decided to test the 15 key factors put out by the sleep experts and found only a few of them like drinking coffee, bedroom temperature and setting the circadian clocks by watching the dawn and sunset to be of value. I find working on my computer with the lights on to have little effect etc. Of course we are all individuals so I do not claim my observations will apply to all. What I do recommend is get yourself a sleep monitor watch or ring and work out what is best for you.
