    Which animal sleeps with one eye open?

    Question #95854. Asked by armindasantana. (May 19 08 12:41 PM)

    		Dolphins sleep with one half of their brain plus one eye closed, then switching to the other side of the brain and the other eye closed during other parts of the day -- slowing down everything inside their bodies and moving very little.

    		Birds have another special "power." They can sleep with one eye open.This is called unihemispheric sleep, and what it means is that half the brain is asleep and the other half awake. Dolphins and seals can swim while asleep.
