Do you have data showing that it's "usually a lie or self-delusion"? Because there's a genetic explanation[1] for why folks need less sleep. The only way I can sleep 9 hours in a night is if I work up a sleep debt.

That one mutation is rare, but it's an advantageous one in a society of workaholics, so there's probably a sampling bias: we're more likely to encounter folks with that mutation when selecting for high performers. It's also a single mutation -- there may be others that provide a similar, if more moderate, effect.
