Can i split my sleep hours to two sections? for example 4 hrs at night, 3 in the next afternoon and still be healthy?

Probably: But you should allow enough time for deep (alpha) sleep since this is the kind that rejuvenates.3 hours is a little short, HOWEVER it has been shown that NAPS are HEALTHY! Hope this helps Dr Z
