How Do Fish Sleep?

Fish sleep just like we do, they rest and recover so they can swim and eat again.

Fish don't close their eyes like people do, but they still need to rest. Imagine you're playing a really fun game all day, you'd feel tired and want to take a break too! That's what fish do when they sleep.

Some fish float near the top of the water, almost like they’re floating in a bubble bath. Others hide behind rocks or plants, just like kids hiding under a blanket. Some even stay still and slow down their movements, it’s like taking a deep breath before going to bed.

When fish sleep, they don’t stop breathing. They keep moving water through their gills, which helps them get oxygen just like when we breathe in and out while sleeping.

Sometimes you might see a fish not moving at all, that's when it’s really resting. It's like when your little brother falls asleep during his favorite show, he doesn’t move, but he’s still listening! Fish sleep just like we do, they rest and recover so they can swim and eat again.
