Sleep feels unavoidable — a universal surrender shared by nearly all life on Earth. Yet some animals seem to defy this rule, remaining active for weeks, months, or even a lifetime without ever fully drifting into unconsciousness.

In this episode of Bedtime Biology, we explore one of biology’s deepest mysteries: how animals adapt sleep itself to survive extreme worlds. From dolphins sleeping with half their brain awake, to birds napping mid-flight, to whales drifting vertically through the ocean, to jellyfish resting without brains at all, this is a gentle journey into the flexible boundaries between sleep and wakefulness.

With soft narration and soothing ambience, discover why sleep cannot be eliminated — only reshaped — and what these extraordinary animals reveal about consciousness, evolution, and the ancient biological need for rest.
