They will perch on a branch and go into a deep sleep. Almost like hibernating.

∙ 14y agoAfter a feeding frenzy at dusk to take in as much nutrition as possible to get them through the night, they perch and go into what's known as a torpor. A torpor is a state of reduced physiological activity induced by lower night temperatures, that serves to conserve energy for small creatures like hummingbirds. Warm morning temperatures bring the hummingbirds out of this state.

∙ 14y agoHummingbirds have the ability to slow their bodily functions and go into a kind of trance or torpor. Their heartbeat during the day can be as high as 1,260 beats per minute and can slow at night to only 50 beats per minute. There are periods when a torpid does not breathe is stiff and numb and seems dead. They may remain in this position overnight and most of the day.

They mostly sleep on branches or on the nest, and it's been known for them to even hang upside down. If you see a hummingbird at night hanging or appearing to breathe very slowly, leave it where it is. It'll just be in its state of torpor getting a good rest. Torpor is also a way for them to survive on colder nights.
