Science just dropped some wild news: fish sleep almost exactly like we do! Researchers tracked zebrafish eye movements and found four distinct sleep phases, including ones that look like our deep sleep and REM. They even take little fishy naps.
It’s wild to think that something as different as a zebrafish shares this complex neural architecture with us. It really makes you rethink how we treat marine life and what’s going on in their heads. If their brains are cycling through complex patterns while they snooze, are they dreaming?
Is their experience of life way closer to ours than we ever imagined? Honestly, I’m looking at my aquarium totally differently today.
