I am not sure if it is that you need less sleep or if the sleep that you do get is more beneficial. But I do know that if I am not doing anything I can't get enough sleep, but if I am doing something every night all I need is about 5-7 hours sleep and I wake without an alarm clock

But there have been studies that state too much sleep can be bad for you. Specifically your heart. DO you think that this is a direct affect, or because people that sleep more usually do less. I can't remember if the study made any specific conclusions.

I don't train either though so I couldnt tell you if that was the case either. I never really feel too tired regardless of how much sleep I have.
