When do whales sleep?

Whales and other water-dwelling mammals such as dolphins are concious breathers. This means they must make a concious effort to swim to the surface to get air. This is opposite to humans, as the brain controls breathing. Whales and dolphins instead let half of the brain sleep at one time, so the animal is never completely unconscious, but it still gets rest periods.

How do whales control their temperature?

Since whales are mammals, they control their temperature the same way humans, and all other mammals do. We are considered "warm" blooded animals, meaning the body controls it's own temperature. Whales use an insulating layer of fat under their skin, known as blubber, whereas humans usually only have a thin layer of skin. This layer helps maintain the heat that the body is producing. There is an area in the brain, known as the hypothalamus, that is in control of body temperature. The brain will try to maintain an even temperature no matter what the outside temperature is.
