Originally when The Sims 4 first came out on Windows, Never Weary removed the need to sleep (although it actually provided -100% Energy decay) making it the only Trait with a -100% decay, the other being Steel Bladder. Around December 2014 with the Careers update, Never Weary was changed to only have a -50% Energy decay thus making Energy decay again. However, the patch notes didn't mention the change leading to many Simmers initially mistaking it for a bug until it was confirmed that Never Weary has been nerfed.
However, the 1.40 update released in February 22, 2018 seems to have reversed this change as it mentioned about the trait providing full benefit now. Needs No One, Forever Fresh, and Forever Full have been added as improved versions of Independent, Antiseptic, and Hardly Hungry respectively. The old nerfed trait is still present in The Sims 4 renamed as Seldom Sleepy which still costs 4,000 Satisfaction Points with the buffed Never Weary as a trait costing 10,000 Satisfaction Points. Needs No One, Forever Fresh, and Forever Full cost 5,000, 8,000, and 10,000 Satisfaction Points respectively.
Previously, the description for Never Weary read
In 1.40, the description was changed to this
Edit: According to replies, Sims who had Never Weary prior to the 1.40 update will receive the updated effect (Never Weary will now stop Energy decay instead of slowing down Energy decay) when playing in 1.40. If you would rather have the Seldom Sleepy effect, you will need to remove the Never Weary trait and then either purchase the Seldom Sleepy trait or add in the trait though cheats to continue receiving the reduced Energy decay. However, cheats are required to remove the Never Weary trait.
It makes me wonder if the change of Never Weary and the introduction of the new traits was created for The Sims 4 Jungle Adventure since the traits would make the Sim useful in that Game Pack although they're expensive, or maybe these traits were created due to player feedback.
Currently, only the Windows and Mac version of The Sims 4 will have this change. The Sims 4 on PS4/Xbox One will still have the nerfed Never Weary trait and won't have the new traits until an update arrives to add them.

Seldom Sleepy Sims need less sleep than other Sims
Never Weary Sims never need sleep.

That said, Hardly Hungry and Steel Bladder didn't get the bump up for the Sim that has these already.
Ctrl + Shift + C

traits.remove_trait NeverWeary
traits.equip_trait SeldomSleepy
(I'm guessing on the last since that's the name of the trait in the game and I can't imagine that it would have a different name but if it doesn't work search around on google to see if someone has found the actually name of the trait.)
The trait won't work because thirst replaces the hunger bar for vampires and they're don't need to eat.
FYI it was originally a "never sleep" trait, way back when the game was launched. Then it was nerfed.
