Do humpback whales sleep?
Yes, whales and dolphins do sleep; however, they do not sleep in the same way that humans do. For example, while human sleep involves a period of unconsciousness followed by a period of conscious dreaming or REM sleep, cetaceans (whales and dolphins) show a pattern of unihemispheric slow-wave sleep, meaning that they only sleep with one half of their brain at a time. This allows them to remain aware of their surroundings and continue to surface for air, even while sleeping.
When do whales sleep?
Whales and other water-dwelling mammals such as dolphins are concious breathers. This means they must make a concious effort to swim to the surface to get air. This is opposite to humans, as the brain controls breathing. Whales and dolphins instead let half of the brain sleep at one time, so the animal is never completely unconscious, but it still gets rest periods.

Does whales sleep?

Are dolphins nocturnal?
they are diurnal because they are never spotted during the night. they always apear at the surface during the day not the night. eventhoug people say that they are nocturnal i think that they are diurnal. if you think that you are a smart person please think. when have you ever seen a picture of a killer whale are any whale at night? think and dont be and idiot WELLLL.. i beg to differ.. I know for a fact that blue whales do not sleep. This is because if they did, then they would drown. Think about it, how to whales breath? through their blowholes. How do they breath if they are sleeping? They don't. That's why most whales, it not all, are neither nocturnal or diurnal, because they dont sleep. Also, whales dont have involuntary breathing, they have to think about breathing and they have to make sure that they actually breath every 30 minutes or so. They do, however, take little napes now and then, but other than that, they get their energy from their food. Now it's time for you to think and stop being an idiot because CLEARLY most of the whales would be dead if they slept. If you dont believe me, then look up 'do whales sleep', and you'll find that they either dont sleep, or half of their brain sleeps at a time, like dolphins.
