Fish don’t have eyelids, so how do they sleep? Do they even need sleep? And if they do, what happens if they don’t get enough? Turns out, fish do sleep—but not like us. They enter a low-energy “rest mode,” some sleep while swimming, and others even cover themselves in mucus bubbles (which is as weird as it sounds).
