How does a culture have different sleep needs?

I meant the expectation of how much to sleep. It's often claimed that in the past people slept much more, but hunter gatherers actually sleep on average 6.5 hours a night.

Siesta culture means sleeping an hour after lunch when the sun is higher and is more dangerous. You don't change your sleep hours because of that.
