Sleep and PE

I am attempting to get back into PE, but I have a random sleep schedule. Keeping a sleep schedule is very difficult due to work and other activities, so my sleep is very sporadic. On good days I am able to sleep for about 4-5 hours. I am wondering if sleep will have an influence on gains. I know that sleep is essential for healing, but I am not sure about it. Does anyone else have odd sleep schedules yet manage their PE? Anyone know the importance of sleep and PE?

Current Attempt: EL Sitting = 6 Inches / BPEL Sitting = 8 Inches

EL Standing = 6 Inches / BPEL = Standing = 7.75 Inches

GOAL: Short Term BPEL = 9 Inches / GOAL: Long Term BPEL = +10 Inches

Here are a few threads I found with a search:
Sleeping habits vs. gains?
Little sleep
Lack of sleep and EQ
Lack of sleep hindering gains
Lack of sleep quality and PI

It sounds like if you can function with that little sleep, you should be okay. I imagine REM sleep is important for all kinds of repair, but maybe you’ve been crunching your cycles?
