Dolphins generally sleep at night, but only for a couple hours at a time; they are often active late at night, possibly matching this alert period to feed on fish or squid, which then rise from the depths.
How many hours a day do dolphins sleep?
They seem to switch off every two hours or so until they get a full eight hours a day.
When should dolphins go to sleep?
Dolphin chronotypes will usually fall asleep because their body needs to, not because they willingly give in to sleep. Because of their sporadic sleeping habits, it's recommended they sleep from about midnight to 6 a.m.
