How Do Dolphins Sleep?

Have you ever wondered how dolphins sleep? The answer may surprise you.
Dolphins don't sleep in the same way that we humans do. We have periods of unconscious sleep and there's no need to think or control our breathing because our body does it for us. But unfortunately, dolphins are not that lucky. After watching this video, do you think you could sleep the same way that dolphins do? Leave in the comments below!

Never being able to fully sleep would drive me crazy. Respect my cetacean friends!

[@iishyxvietxboyii1]

Yeah but you’re not a dolphin…

[@mrbejam]

@@iishyxvietxboyii1 what’s your point?

[@iishyxvietxboyii1]

@@mrbejam … it would drive YOU crazy but you’re not a dolphin…

[@dappleapple]

​@@mrbejami know this was a year ago, but i think what hes trying to say is dolphins are made for that, humans ain't. either way, me neither lol

[@Bongz90]

Or we did

[@De414Work]

Just woke up it’s 1AM thought “how do dolphins sleep?” Super cool fact!!! And now I’m not going to sleep again because I have dolphin research to do 😂

[@blueinsiders]

Lol I could never sleep this way, respect to the dolphins

[@WildMatters]

Right? It must be terrible!

[@LadyGreySpacePirate]

Same. It sucks they don't dream...or do they? 🤔

[@WildMatters]

@@LadyGreySpacePirate Not that we know 🤔

[@germanpantaleon832]

Dolphins are very super smarts animal, can get enough of them, although I have never see or touch one of them.

[@mikelabor7688]

Great content!

[@WildMatters]

Thank you so much Mike! Glad you're here!

[@vadr6383]

I feel like dolphins and whales got stuck halfway thru the evolutionary process

[@szigetimotoros]

I feel we did “The crown” We have scientific knowledges But no emotionally wisdom We should learn from them 🐬🐳🐋

[@nunyabidness7336]

@@szigetimotoros if you as a human can observe and understand dolphins emotional wisdom then your point is incorrect. Recognizing animals emotional tendencies means that humans have emotional wisdom by default. Implementation is a different subject.

[@eastbee103]

How so??

[@WillisAmak]

everything is still in its evolution process.. remember.. changes take millions of years.

[@one-seventeen.rev310]

Macro evolution is a lie

[@WildlyCuteYT]

Dolphins are so amazing!! I could neverrr 😢

[@WildMatters]

Haha yes! They definitely deserve our respect 🫡

[@ChrisJericho-yf4db]

Do they just know how to turn off half their brain? How is this even restful? Poor dolphins.

[@DavidWilliams-hl2zc]

Damn u made me go out of automatic breathing

[@YuiHikari]

Dolphins are just amazingg ❤

[@WildMatters]

I love them!!

[@jorgedominguez2161]

Awesome video

[@WildMatters]

Thank you so much!

[@Yxgra]

easy to understand 👍

[@katepratletto6789]

I love dolphins 🐬

[@RaccoonLex]

2:56 i think half of my brain is resting all the time😶‍🌫

[@stewpidasso3910]

Deserves more views

[@gew12]

Some people rest half their brain all of the time

[@WildMatters]

😂

[@c00kiechu]

And the other half is missing 😁

[@RonaldL.MAngela.vaught17HH]

Dolphins have a place in the heavens, ethics in reciprocity.

[@maridenise7145]

Dolphins r amazing woah 😮

[@WildMatters]

They really are!!

[@jojotag5344]

dolphines are awesome

[@rossellacrisioni2211]

Poor dolphins. Must be hell. 😢

[@whatsthestoryhere]

Yeah but even if it's voluntary, they know no different.

[@unknownwrr]

Thanks for the video....what would be the benefit for human to sleep with half brain at the time?

[@raulg2529]

Send this to Payton 😂

[@punchlinereviews4983]

Nice

[@furstenfeldbruck]

Why don't they just lay on the sand and sleep?

[@voydkid]

my lazy ass would do so

[@justinkrann7406]

Pretty sure thats how most Japanese people sleep.

[@WildMatters]

😭

[@welovephilippineswithmylov5419]

hmmmmmm now I know

[@khadijabari1733]

😊

[@9-kowkla]

I dont think i will survive if i need to do this i would fail my test ofc lol

[@ianstein7603]

Why can't humans sleep like this I wonder?

[@jonathan312]

They are conscious with their every breath!?! Practically meditating all their life. I'm not surprised that they know better not to start an agricultural revolution.

[@RonaldL.MAngela.vaught17HH]

i don't remember making the comment above

[@nelsontragura1441]

sleep with one eye open -- metallica?

[@kalel311superman9]

i respect dolphins but being them would suck

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

Where is this species found in India? In think God is the real DJ here

[@voydkid]

sucks to be a fish like this

[@MyRook]

Next question...How do you know this to be true?

[@mrbejam]

If you do a little research into sleep studies on humans and how they are sometimes practically done, you’d know how it was measured.

[@MyRook]

@@mrbejam They'd have to have scanners..Correct? How do they know that half of the brain shuts off? I hate it when i'm not shown how something is discovered

[@JosipM333]

Dolphins do not sleep, they rest the brain halves alternately.
