They 'sleep with the humans' and given styrofoam shoes!

I think what he is asking is whether fish 'sleep' like we do. And as far as I know most of them do not, though they do have dormant periods where they hide if they have a 'home' to hide in, or just drift slowly if not. But they can be roused pretty quickly if disturbed in this state. It's not like 'sleep' in mammals where you are totally unaware of what's going on around you. Aquatic mammals have to do something weird where one half of their brain 'sleeps' while the other half stays awake because they can't afford to stop swimming.

I heard about that for dolphins, but I wasn't sure about other swimming animals. Thanks.

(Yes, I do occasionally ask a totally sensical question)

Sharks for one never truly 'sleep' since water must be constantly flowing through their gills, propelled by their motion through the ocean. If they stop, they suffocate. They're one species that half the brain is dormant with the other active, then vise versa.
