Do Fish Sleep?

Science...the final frontier. Scientific study to see if fish do actually sleep. Evidently they do. This video is in the name of science. Don't be a hater. Just sit back, relax and observe the science.

@yournamehere954 good point. i think it would still be breathing if it was sleeping.....

Yea but there gills still move when they sleep. And they do not sleep sideways as the fish in the video. He my friend is a goner.

I've been trying to study this habit very closely, I'm at not a scientific genious by any means but I'm trying to break the process of human sleeping compared to fish "resting".

I try to believe that we would be able to sleep in such a fashion that we would have a concious mind in order to mandate our activities such as eating, talking and even studying while also regenerating our minds so that we can actually study for a class and be completely rested by the time class starts.

Any advice

if there dead then the float at the top. fish sleep with only one half of there brain at a time. the other half is on the alert for predators
