how long do fishes sleep?

does the depth in the water/ visibility make any difference?


It depends but every organism must undergo rest for every period of activity. I believe it has a lot to do with the re uptake of chemicals that are used for basic bodily functions. Essentially sleep is the resting period between activity, which literally is the essential of maintaining a balanced human physiology.

why don't you guys talk it over while i'm sleeping

O_o


why does your body need sleep?

I've heard of truckers going bonkers with too much caffeine trying to stay awake and drive too much.


People can literally go insane from sleep deprivation. Why does this happen?

i think it has something to do with chemical buildup, either in your brain or in other parts of your body.
once it reaches a certain level you get sleepy and your body naturally tries to go into a state of mini-hibernation to allow the moving and dismantling of whatever chemicals are causing the problem


Your body needs to rest so that it can relax its muscles / etc
