I get about 5 1/2 hours of sleep a night, 4 on a bad night, 7-8 on a great night, will working out give me more inherent energy to the point that my lack of sleep will matter less and I'll feel more naturally awake and alert?
Probably not, and will be counter productive. Working out should actually help you sleep better.
Muscles need down time to grow and heal after intense workouts. A good nights sleep is the best thing you can do when working out. You should give the muscles you work out, at least 48 hours recoup time.
