I worked on my first app next to a 40hr/week job. It wasn't really hard, since I liked my side project. My schedule from Mo-Fri looked like something like this:

7AM: Get up, shower, cook breakfast

8AM: Take the bus to work

5PM: Come home, buy groceries, cook dinner, etc.

7PM: Work on side project

1AM: Go to bed

This worked well since I lived alone during the week (on the weekends I travelled to my home town and stayed with my girlfriend)

I got plenty of stuff done in that year.

The most surprising thing was that I wasn't really more productive when I quit my day job.

You are lucky, you need only 6 hours of sleep.

After a few days of sleeping only 6 hours I get irritable and slow though, and then I'll fall asleep on the couch in the afternoon. It's not sustainable, and probably not healthy.
