I would think it would be more complicated than he simply "doesn't need to sleep anymore".

I imagine there must be, at the very least, some extreme side effects involved.

There are reasons we need to sleep, and just because the victim's body tells itself it doesn't need it anymore, doesn't mean he truly doesn't.

I'm finding this extremely hard to fathom.
