Скачать или смотреть Worm Science: Do Worms Sleep?

In this video, I explore the diurnal cycles of worms—the patterns of activity that unfold over a 24-hour day—and tackle a question that has puzzled many: Do worms sleep? Drawing from published scientific research, I’ll cite evidence from journals to shed light (or perhaps darkness, as worms prefer) on these behaviours. In the end, I hope we can enhance our vermicomposting practices by learning more about these fascinating creatures.
