Do you need less sleep?

Sometimes I sleep for about 4-5 hours and then I wake up and I'm wide awake. For those hours that I did sleep I usually sleep really, really well. I am usually asleep by 10 pm so this means I'm up at 2 or 3 am and just laying there! I don't feel tired so I can't go back to sleep. I just have to wait around until it's time to get ready for work (so I don't disturb my roommate). Some days I sleep a solid 6-8 hours.
Has anyone experienced needing less sleep and/or sleeping better after becoming vegan?

Yes! I used to sleep much longer, and wake up feeling not nearly as refreshed as I do now. In fact, my husband and I were just talking about how we have lost the ability to sleep in! On weekends, we go to bed planning to sleep late. but our bodies just decide it is time to get up!0

no! I've always been big on sleeping, I need to stop sleeping so much, as a teenager (vegetarian at the time) I could sleep average 12 to 16 hours a day, now as a adult I feel like crap if I don't get at least 10 hours, I sleep 10 to 12 hours every day!! Even if I wake up earlier to get out of the habit I will end up falling asleep in the afternoon (not on purpose).
My doctor reckons the older I get I will "grow out of it" and not to worry, I don't see that happening anytime soon....0
