... Chronic lack of exercise causes people to sleep 9+ hours per day. Put those same people on regular aerobic exercise regimes, and they start sleeping <8 hours.

Peak performance exercise can demand 9+ hours of sleep. I'd be reluctant to categorize sleep needs based on exercise regime.

Yep. Should have expressed that it is non-linear.
