Ok.  Let's try this again...

I am aware Sleep Sight and WS allows you to sleep AND your 
aware.  But the key is yoru still asleep.  Not moving around camp on patrol.

So sleep in camp is typically
10pm-6am - 8 hours 480 min.

Ten folks so 480/10=48 min each sentry period.
But sop is 2 folks so really only 5 at any time night.

480/5=96 min per sentry shift assuming 5.

But 3 are using sleep spells.  So they are not on patrol checking 
horses, stoking the fire, etc.  They are sleeping

So leaves 7 to do the work.

7 Folks to spread in 8 hours.  Really 3.5 which rounds up to 4.

so 480/4=120 means 2 hours per sentry duty.

So 30 min or so extra time folks lose sleep on average while the 
others get full 8 hours.

So can those folks live on 6 hours ? Probably.

Is it fair to patrol for 2 hours while the sleep spellers 
snore?  That's the question. :)

I personally don't care.  Either way.  Just recall reading about ht 
espells again and forgot the basics.  Just something to think of.

Personally the cousns would not like it.  but they are lazy..

New and old folks?  Who knows.  All I'm saying is while 3 sleep 
soundly 7 do the work for 10.
