The medical recommendation is 8-10 hours for everyone under 18, and individuals differ, so you may need more or less than the average. Also, I’m sure you know this but I have to say it anyway: Polyphasic, or any restrictive, sleep schedules, as well as restrictive diets and other experimental lifestyles that may cause physical or mental damage are NOT RECOMMENDED for those who are still experiencing lots of physical growth. You can screw up your growth pattern, and there’s no fixing that once you do, so it’s not worth it just for the “cool” of doing Uberman (or whatever) now rather than later. Because of the scientific fact that you only get one shot and physical and mental growth, and that good growth takes lots of sleep and food, I’m 100% against people under 18 messing with polyphasic sleep, diets, fasting, or any of that, without taking the possible consequences very seriously. If there’s a problem that needs addressing, such as an inability to sleep normally, then by all means consider a polyphasic schedule as a possible solution…WITH medical supervision, AFTER all the more obvious things (like diet, caffeine, stress, depression, light & sound stimulus, etc.) have been looked at and corrected
This is from a proponent and pioneer of polyphasic sleeping.
