Do snakes sleep?
Snakes sleep, but they don't sleep like humans. It is more of a state of mind then actually falling asleep. ChaCha again!

Snakes, like all reptiles sleep. They are capable of doing this despite the fact that they have no movable eyelids. ChaCha on!

About Sleep
Sleep is necessary for mammals and many other animals, in order to rejuvenate their bodies. During sleep consciousness is lost or reduced and we are less responsive to external activities. Most people need at least 8 hours of sleep per day in order to function at their highest level. Not getting enough sleep can increase the risks of cancer, heart disease, obesity and diabetes.
