The Sleep Secret

Greetings,

Here is a little fun filled post for you to enjoy.

Do fish sleep?

It all depends on what you mean by sleep.

My dictionary says that sleep is a period of rest in which the eyes are closed and there is little or no thought or movement. That is, sleeping means closing your eyes and resting.

The first thing we notice is that most fish don’t have eyelids (except for sharks). Also, while some deep ocean fish never stop moving a great many fishes live nearly motionless lives and many do so on a regular diurnal/nocturnal cycle, some active by day others by night.

So we can’t generalize and say that all fish sleep like we do. But most fish do rest. Usually they just blank their minds and do what we might call daydreaming. Some float in place, some wedge themselves into a spot in the mud or the coral, some even build themselves a nest.

They will still be alert for danger, but they will also be “sleeping.”

Are you getting the rest or sleep that you need?

Sleep deprivation at work can be a killer. Don’t let insomnia get a hold of you.

Sincerely,
