That's exactly what the parent says.

"Add it altogether and an "eight hour night" may actually only constitute 6.5 hours of actual physiological sleep. ".

Which is the problem being raised.

According to the study 9 hrs of sleep is bad for your health (too much sleep). But that 9 hrs may actually constitute 8 hrs of actual physiological sleep. So 8 hrs of actual sleep is too much and is bad?
