How do reptiles sleep?

Answer 1

I don't know about other species, but I have a red-eared slider (one of the most common types of aquatic turtles in the U.S.) and she sleeps at night just like I do. After the sun goes down and her heat lamp turns off, she goes up against one side of her tank, pulls her head in, and sleeps like that all night long.

MY BABY eastern Box turtle sleeps alot since it is a baby and when it sleep under a log it curves his neck out and he sleeps like that

Answer 2

Reptiles have different sleeping patterns depending on the species. Some reptiles, like snakes, may rest with their eyes closed but are still alert and can respond to stimuli. Others, like turtles, may enter a deeper state of rest where they are less responsive to their surroundings.

Since reptiles don't have eyelids, some use alternative methods to protect their eyes while resting, such as burrowing underground or finding sheltered locations. Overall, reptiles have adapted various sleeping strategies to suit their specific environment and lifestyle.
