Hi Martin. I came across the following while scanning the Internet. Can you look at Page 10 of the link under Contraindications second paragraph where it states who SRT would not be good for. Is this accepted knowledge or only their opinions? Thanks.

These are known contraindications — but they are very conservative. In other words, someone with epilepsy, parasomnias, or sleep disordered breathing should only pursue sleep restriction under the direction of their doctor but I don’t know of any reports of ill-effects experienced by such individuals when going through sleep restriction. That’s not to say they don’t exist, but in my opinion, they are likely very rare.
