By itself it's not worth anything. Even as part of a package of other abilities, it's worth little to nothing. None of those traits have much practical impact on the game.

I suppose you have never played a campaign were you are forced to survive and the DM penilises you if you don't get enough sleep

The elans (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/psionicRaces.htm#elans) have this ability (although technically they trance for 4 hours a night). They're open game and LA+0 (initially, it was disputed about their LA, but that was almost entirely due to their Resilience ability and Aberration type. The costs on the former and limited benefits of the latter have since cemented their balance firmly in the LA+0 bracket.)

Then it becomes very campaign specific, which can very subjective when you are trying to peg down a single LA. But I think I can safely say that for the majority of campaigns out there, factors such as thirst, hunger etc are typically not enforced, or at least not stringently.:)

Warforged do not eat, sleep or breathe and they also are LA +0.
