Dolphins’ Unique Slumber Half Brain Sleep Phenomenon

Title: “Dolphins’ Unique Slumber: Half-Brain Sleep Phenomenon“ Dolphins, known for their intelligence and playful nature, have an extraordinary adaptation when it comes to sleep. Unlike humans, who typically experience full-brain sleep, dolphins can allow one hemisphere of their brain to rest while the other remains alert. This phenomenon, known as unihemispheric slow-wave sleep, enables dolphins to continue swimming, surface for air, and remain vigilant for potential threats while half their brain gets some much-needed rest. It’s a critical survival strategy, as dolphins need to be constantly aware of their oceanic environment and the presence of predators. This remarkable ability to sleep with one eye open, so to speak, showcases the evolutionary ingenuity of these marine mammals, allowing them to balance rest and vigilance in the open sea. #dolphins #dolphin #nfl #ocean #miamidolphins #sea #miami #football #nature #whales #dolphinlove #finsup #love #florida #an
