False. Dolphins do not sleep with their eyes closed because they are conscious breathers and need to be aware of their surroundings to come up for air. Instead, they experience a form of sleep called unihemispheric slow-wave sleep, where one half of their brain sleeps while the other half remains awake and alert. This allows them to maintain some level of awareness while resting.
