How long after starting an exercise program do you get more effecient sleep?
I have read that when you exercise, your body gets more deep sleep- thus the same amount of time gets more restoration and you sleep less. I have only been exercising for about a month. How long until I can feel the benifits of less sleep?
I understand at the begining I need more sleep so my body can grow into the new energy needed, but after that , you get more efficient sleep.

Actually, your body may need more rest because you are working out more regularly now. It is true that regular exercise does lead to extended REM sleep pattern which giving you a more restful night. But now that you are exerting more energy your body may require that you rest longer to rebuild the muscle broken down during your workouts.
I have been working out 5-6 days a week pretty consistently for a while now and I can get through most of my days on 6-7 hours of sleep.
I know of people that have just conditioned themselves to get the most out of 3-4 hours of sleep a night just takes time.
