Yes, African side-neck turtles can sleep underwater. They are capable of holding their breath for extended periods, allowing them to rest submerged. While they might occasionally come to the surface for air, they often find a safe spot on the bottom or among aquatic vegetation to sleep. Their unique anatomy allows them to tuck their heads to the side, which helps them stay streamlined while resting.

How Do the flat back turtles sleep?

Turtles, like any other animal, sleep when they need to. I catch my four napping on a regular basis. They love catching a snooze while out sunning themselves. They can't sleep under water they have to be basking. If they were to sleep under water they might drown.
