Dolphins monitor their environment 24/7 in order to protect themselves from predators and other dangers. The way that they do this is by shutting down, or sleeping, with only half their brain at a time. Another reason for this is because breathing is not a natural reflex for dolphins so they have to keep half the brain awake to continue breathing.
Yes, dolphins are known to exhibit unihemispheric slow-wave sleep, where one hemisphere of the brain remains active while the other rests. This ability allows dolphins to sleep and remain aware of their surroundings, essentially functioning with half of their brain at a time.

Someone who only has half a brain
Yes they do. At night, they shut off half there brains which allows them to be alert of enemy's and not drown when sleeping. One side of their brains sleeps while the other concentrates on staying alive and natural functions such as breathing. Once that side was asleep is refreshed it swaps round, so the other side gets a chance of rest and respite.
