It is documented that experiences of samadhi can reduce or even eliminate the need for sleep. Too much japa can have some effect also. But it is necessary to understand that these would not be insomnia but rather elimination of the need to sleep more.
Insomnia does not mean one needs to sleep less, but when one can't sleep adequately.
In general meditation practices however should make sleep more sound, i.e deep and adequate.
