How Elephants Sleep
~2 hours a day
From the spread “Winning At Waketime” in Sleep, Nap, Snooze.
Wild elephants are among the shortest sleepers of all land mammals, resting roughly two hours out of every twenty-four.
They often doze standing up, and only lie down for deeper sleep every few days.
A herd takes turns resting so that someone is always awake and watching.
