As far as I'm aware, the whole don't sleep/meditate thing is a thing in several D&D campaign settings, but is not true in Pathfinder.
Elves sleep just like everybody else in Pathfinder, they're just immune to magical sleep effects.

Yep, elves sleep the same as anybody else. They can't be magically forced to sleep, though, which is still very useful.

*shrugs* They're immune, like they're immune to a ghoul's paralysis. As for why, it was probably included as a reference to or holdover from the 3.5 version.

Dragons are immune to sleep, and still sleep naturally.

In Pathfinder, the immunity to sleep effects is even something that can be traded out for an alternate racial trait.
Dragons are immune to sleep, and still sleep naturally.
Ditto for Half-Elves.
It actually became a point of amusement for my Half-Elf Summoner. The Summoner had to sleep normally but was immune to magical sleep effects. His eidolon did not sleep normally but could be magically put to sleep. I had the eidolon freak out when she woke up from a magical sleep effect, since it was such a new and unnerving experience for her.

Dragons are immune to sleep, and still sleep naturally.Which is just as nonsensical, and doesn't even have the excuse of being grandfathered in from a time when it did make sense, because AFAIK dragons have always slept and been immune to sleep.
Immune to effects that forcefully put them to sleep, not immune to needing to sleep themselves.
Yeah, I just look at it as a sort of "strength of mind" ability. Elves (the original "anything you can do, I can do better" race, per Tolkien) are resistant to enchantments (+2 bonus) and straight-up immune to sleep.
Think of forcing someone to sleep as a sort of basic, brute-force mental assault. Elves' minds are too sophisticated for blunt assaults like that, and are resistant to more sophisticated enchantments. Same for dragons.

The recently released Healer's Handbook says a legendary Bard by the name of Sylandurla climbed Pharasma's Boneyard and sung 8,008 songs to win it for the entire Elven race.

Same way lvl 20 Monks with the martial artist archetype are inmune to death effects (like a finger of death), but still can die naturally.
