Ah, my mistake about sleep length in DC1.

Sorry, I meant for "still able to talk" to stand in for the large group of things constituting "appear basically normal", which the standard literature suggests they should not.

I agree with you and believe in polyphasic sleep, but my point still stands -- one can "appear basically normal" without actually having optimal cognition.

Puredoxyk reports being able to do work while laying down, etc, which is basically impossible if you're seriously sleep deprived.
