With their eyes open.

I found this:

Whether fish sleep or not is an open question, to the point of having inspired the title of several popular science books. In birds and mammals, sleep is defined by eye closure and the presence of typical patterns of electrical activity in the brain, including the neocortex, but fish lack eyelids and a neocortex. Some species that always live in shoals or that swim continuously are suspected never to sleep.

I thought is was an interesting question and I didn't know the answer. I didn't remember seeing the tropical fish we had years ago ever sleep.

I wonder if our pets dream like we do.

 

[milagros317]

I have seen sleeping cats who look like they are dreaming about hunting. 🐈

 

[kurchatovium]

Do turtles dream?

Secure inside their shells, I am somehow sure that they do have wonderful dreams.

I always presumed that male dogs dream of huge steaks, soft warm beds, and hot bitches.
