Yes, of course, every living creature needs rest. Even if some fish or insects don't close their eyes like us, their brain and body go into a resting state. It's just nature's basic rule for survival.

Beta, God has created sleep to recharge the body, whether it is humans, birds, or animals. Just like how we feel fresh after a good night's sleep, animals also have their own natural patterns of resting. Always respect the natural sleep cycle.

Ho na, sleep is necessary for every single creature. Some animals only rest half of their brain at a time, like dolphins, which is so interesting. Without rest, no body can function.
