Sleeping very little, and not tired, meditation related?

[Mulky]

I have been working 3 days a week, midnight till 8 in the morning.  During most of that time at work, I am either full on meditating or doing a walking meditation, or just being meditative while doing things, for the most part.  When I am off work, I am spending about 50 percent of my time awake meditating.   When i wake up at about 8 pm at night, I might start to do something but then immediately lost interest and start meditating in my chair, off and on, until it's time to go back to sleep around noon the next day.  During my meditation. i sometimes fall asleep , maybe for up to a couple of hours.  Its very hard to say exactly how much time at night is spent sleeping and how much is meditating, but it can't be too much sleep, because on the nights i work all night, I rarely get sleepy overnight.

I don't really feel like sleeping ever now, I feel a bit bummed when its time to sleep, but I do it because I feel like im supposed to, although lately I have been laying in bed sort of meditating instead of sleeping, and then maybe ill fall asleep eventually for about 4 hours.  Some nights/days I dont sleep at all, but i don't feel bad because of it or worn out.  My job is very easy and i get very little physical activity besides doing alot of walking some days/nights.  Some times I get a bit worried when it comes to sleep, then I wonder, if it wasn't for the worry, would anything really be wrong.  Then I don't sleep and find out everything was fine and only the worry was the problem.  Not sure if I'm becoming some sort of insomniac or if meditation is fullfilling my sleep needs.  Need some good well informed advice here

Trust the body my friend. This seems completely normal to me. Sleep is a form of meditation, forget what society and our cultures tell us about how many hours is needed of sleep because it’s always conducive to ones level of consciousness and energy flow throughout the body 

I’ve heard the body uses different times of the day to focus or attend to energy healing of various organs, glands or chakras
