6 month-old sleeps max. of 7 hrs/night, & takes no naps (literally, none) during day. is this sufficient sleep for healthy cognitive development?

Half as much...: 7 hours of sleep is about half as much in a day as one would expect for a 6 month old. I would look into the environment (? overstimulation) and help encourage some more rest time.
