Hi villkorkarma,
Personally I don't think genuine arahants would declare their attainments - so I think its probably difficult to answer your question. I'm also not sure why you think that they wouldn't sleep.
with metta,

If you have asked me of the origination of unease, then I shall explain it to you in accordance with my understanding:
Whatever various forms of unease there are in the world, They originate founded in encumbering accumulation. (Pārāyanavagga)
'We should not congratulate someone on the success of their misdeeds, but on the contrary should endeavour to advise him or her to lead a more skilful and wholesome life. If such advice is ignored then we can only give up and let go' - Phra Panyapatipo
