Normally I would be inclined to agree with you but the article specifically says: "The research has some important limitations including ... the subjective measure of sleep being based on time spent in bed rather being asleep per se"

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?
