You're one of the lucky ones. If I get less than 6 per night, not only will I be sleep deprived, but I'm guaranteed to get sick. This is why it's important to find out your own sleep time. There are ways to find out if you're sleep deprived. My favourte way is admitting when I've had a few too many microsleeps. 
Many Buddhist monks sleep only a few hours per night due to the reduced requirement from all the meditation they do. Those delta-waves are quite something.
