They sleep in the water. The dolphins also enter a deep form of sleep at night and float up near the top.

yes, a dolphin will either float slowly in the water and occasionally come to the surface for a breath, or lay at the bottom of shallow water and come up occasionally for a breath.

Can dolphins sleep in water?

Yes they can. Dolphins are aquatic mammals so they have to sleep in the water. They cannot live on land. Only one side (hemisphere) of the dolphin's brain goes into deep sleep. The other hemisphere stays alert to allow the dolphin to surface for air and to watch for predators.
