*Rest time for a dolphin looks a lot like playtime.*
Dolphins have a remarkable way of resting known as unihemispheric slow-wave sleep. They shut down only one half of their brain at a time while the other half stays alert to breathe and watch for predators. For the younger members of the pod, these quiet moments are the perfect opportunity for social play and exploration.
