Tuataras, which are unique reptiles native to New Zealand, experience a form of sleep characterized by a state of rest where their metabolic rates decrease. They do not have eyelids; instead, a protective scale called a spectacle covers their eyes, and during sleep, their body becomes less active and they may stay in a curled position or hidden in burrows. Unlike many other reptiles, tuataras can remain vigilant even while resting, allowing them to respond to potential threats. Their sleep patterns are influenced by environmental factors such as temperature and light.
