will this affect my supply?

My DD is just over 5 wks and a couple of times in the last week she has managed to sleep from about 11.30pm/midnight through until about 4.30/5am. Whilst the extra sleep is great for me, I wonder whether this will have a detrimental affect on my milk supply...
She does tend to feed almost constantly during the evening from 8pm-11pm so I guess she has got all the milk she needs, but I just don't want my body to produce less milk IYSWIM. Should I be waking her for a feed during this time?

Nooo, if she has slept through by herself, then leave her to it and enjoy!
