Sea Otters sleep in groups while wrapped in seaweed so they do not float away. The Alaskan Sea Otter will occasionally haul out on ice or rocks and sleep. It is very uncommon for California Sea Otters to haul out.

They sleep in the Ocean, on their backs in the kelp as to prevent them from drifting. It's not discussed much because they often change locations from one kelp bed to the next. Pairs or parent/young will hold paws during sleep to stay together.

Sea otters often sleep on top of the water. Their fur has air pockets which keep them afloat and they tangle themselves in kelp or sea weed as to not drift to far from shore.

Usually on their backs, wrapped in kelp to stabilize their location, which keeps them from snoring.
