They do sleep,but they don't close their eye's because they don't have any eyelids! It may not swim that much because it's asleep, but close the light when they're asleep so it gets a better rest! Hope this helps!

All living things sleep or do rest in some way. Goldfish however can't close there eyes and they will just be laying on the bottom of the tank. You have no need to worry if it's dead unless it is laying upside down.
Fish don't really sleep. They just kind of rest by floating in the water, staying quite still.
Amazingly, NO :) they rest in the tanks. how they do that?

They slow down their metabolism and rest in a safe area.

Of course they must go to sleep. All animals do. You may be wondering why they keep their eyes open. Well, think of it this way. They always have their eyes shut! Their eyelids are transparent, and they are fused together.

Yes goldfish do indeed sleep- you can easily tell when they're asleep because they will swim slightly limp around (but not on) the bottom of the tank.
in the ocean.
