No. Cows are not built to sleep standing up like horses are. Because cows are heavy in the brisket and barrel area, holding all that weight with fat, muscle, four-chambered stomach and other organs, they choose to lay down to sleep instead of remaining standing.

Cows typically sleep for about 4 to 5 hours a day, although they may rest for longer periods while lying down.

Cows are known to be polyphasic sleepers, meaning they take several naps throughout the day and night rather than sleeping for long stretches at a time.
