That's probably the second of the effects I mentioned, if you interpret “actual” narrowly enough.

I'd guess that with different types of exercise, e.g. weight training, the first effect might win instead.

I'm not sure. Meditative trance states do have shown in some cases to be able to replace sleep. When I dance well I think it's plausible to be in a trance state which cuts down on sleep.
