But there are two contrasting effects here—by exercising, you’ll need to sleep more, but you’ll also get more hours of actual sleep per hour spent in bed trying to sleep
I’m not sure whether that’s true. Dancing well can in my experience mean sometimes mean that I get by with less sleep.
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.

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.

Good point.
