Dolphins swim to the surface and breathe through a blow-hole located on the top of their head. When a dolphin is sleeping it only sleeps with one side of the brain sleeping, which allows the other half to keep it a float, and to keep the dolphin breathing, also this way a dolphin can protect itself a lot easier, (A lot more alert to predators ie: Sharks).
