I am not sure if they sleep or not. I've surfed the internet on it and no one knows, I guess. I did find out though that they breath through gills in water and adapt to breathing air on land, so if you get one I suggest you fill the tank with half water and half soil.

How mud skippers move?

Mudskippers are fish and so they have gills. Once out of water their gills dry out and stick together, so mudskippers have a special cavity behind their ears where sea water is stored. As they move their eyes pressure is applied to that cavity and this reoxygenates the stored water. The gill flaps and restores gills to their normal function.
