When the goldfish is sleeping and if you touch it does it move?

Goldfish and other types of fish do sleep. They do not sleep like people because they must keep moving water over their gills in order to breathe, but they do relax and go into a sleep-like state.
They will chill on the bottom of the aquarium and won't move much. They will wake up and move around more if you touch them while they are sleeping, or if you turn on a light because they have no eyelids.
This is why you should never leave an aquarium light on all night.

Do goldfish lean to the left when they sleep?
Some goldfish, especially large ranchu/lionhead goldfish who are lacking a dorsal fin, may lean slightly to the left when they are sleeping. This is normal behavior and shouldn't be of concern unless the fish is exhibiting signs of illness or is acting lethargic.
