I find it pretty wild that some animals, like dolphins and certain whales, sleep with only half of their brain at a time! This fascinating ability is called unihemispheric slow-wave sleep. While one half of the brain rests, the other half stays alert to control breathing and stay aware of potential dangers. It's especially important for aquatic mammals, who need to surface for air even while they're asleep. Wow!
