Yes, sharks do sleep, but in a different way than humans. Sharks do not have eyelids, so they cannot close their eyes while sleeping. Instead, some sharks have to keep swimming to keep water flowing over their gills for oxygen. This is called "active rest." Other sharks can rest on the ocean floor or in a cave while still moving water over their gills to breathe.
