Dolphins sleep by shutting down one hemisphere of their brain at a time, allowing the other half to remain alert. This unique adaptation enables them to surface periodically for air while still resting. They consciously swim to the surface to breathe, ensuring they get the oxygen they need even while they are sleeping.
