No, rats cannot sleep standing up. The only mammals that can sleep standing up are large herbivorous mammals, like horses. They sleep standing up because it is sometimes difficult for them to stand up for lying down. Some birds, like flamingoes, sleep standing on one foot.

It is theoretically possible for a human to sleep standing up, but it is not common or ideal. The body's sleep cycle and posture adjustments during sleep are optimized for lying down. Standing up to sleep can be uncomfortable and may not allow for the deep, restorative sleep that lying down provides.
