How Does An Octopus Sleep?: Discover The Ways Your Favorite Animal Sleep

Ever wondered how animals sleep? This book has all the answers!

When and where does a shark sleep? How long does a gorilla sleep? In what position does an elephant sleep? Believe it or not, there are not a lot of books that answer these questions.

Animals need their sleep just as much as people do. But they sleep in very different ways than we do… some sleep while flying or swimming; some just need a minute's rest at a time, and others sleep with half of their brain still awake!


The octopus sleeps like a log and a sleep-deprived ant can cause chaos. Kangaroos sleep under trees or in the grass, or even digging shallow holes to beat the heat, and sperm whales sleep with one eye open.

This book shares hundreds of fascinating facts about animals’ behavior: from how they sleep and hunt, to how they reproduce and communicate.


Animals include: octopus, bee, ant, shark, seahorse, tree frog, butterfly, flamingo, crocodile, bat, toucan, swift, sloth, gorilla, giraffe, sperm whale, bear, elephant, lion, and kangaroo.
