Interestingly enough, dolphin have the ability to "sleep" one half of their brain at a time. The "awake" lobe operates all functions for approximately 2 hours, then it "switches" to the other lobe.

Like every mammal, dolphins need to sleep. Since they have a breathing spout for water when dolphins sleep it can be dangerous because the can get to much water in them so a lot of times when dolphins are sleeping youll see them come up a lot every now and then. Also its dangerous for whale to sleep too but not as dangerous as dolphins because whales can stay underwater much longer than dolphins.

Do dolphins sleep in the day or the night?
Yes. All creatures must sleep. The dolphin can sleep, move and breath at the same time.They do this by allowing only half of their brain to shut down. They often can get about 8 hours of sleep. They can accomplish this three ways. They can slowly cruise at the surface of the water taking breaths, they can rest at the bottom of a shallow area rising to the surface to get a breath or they can simply rest on the surface. Dolphins do sleep, but in a very unique way. One half of the brain dozes off, whilest the other is still awake (looking out for predators) then vice versa (happens to the the other side) Hope it helps =)

What if people don't get enough sleep?
They will likely be tired throughout the day. They may also be more stressed out. The more sleep you get, the more likely you are to have better mental health. If you don't go into deep sleep for a week straight, you will likely go insane. Literally. (You are in a deep sleep when you start having dreams).
