Do bottle fed babies really sleep for longer periods?

Just our of curiousity, do babies who are bottle fed sleep for longer periods (presumably because you can see how much they are feeding as opposed to breast feeding), particularly through the night? I was in a hospital waiting room and made conversation with a lady who said her baby had it's last bottle feed at 9pm and slept through to 7am, i breast feed and sometimes i'm up every 30-40mins through the night!

mine has never had forumula and we were very lucky as she slept from 10pm - 7am from 7/8 wks and only woke up on odd ocassions when she had a growth spurt or bad cold. I am now expecting again and dont think that i can be so lucky again. She fed al ot in the eday every 2 hours an d cluster fed before bed but i did not mind could watch tv loads and then get a good nights sleep
