Actually aside from the small number of vegetables you eat, that's actually not an "unhealthy" diet, you're body has learned how to healthily burn the fat and proteins that are in the meat. You don't need as much sleep because you're body can get more energy out of fats and proteins than from sugar and caffeine. So that being said the amount of sleep you can handle makes sense based on that fact alone. I don't know your exercise habits so I can't tell how much is burned from that or how it affects your sleep.

Thank you for the comment. Yes, since I know myself I craved meat but nothing else much, I guess my body just adjusted to that.
My body build is slim and I usually run 10km or swim an hour or do an hour of squash with someone each day, but I wouldn't call this heavy workout. Just keeping healthy.
