Everybody knows that cats like to sleep. They spend more than half of their lives sleeping and enjoying every minute of it. Other animals have different sleeping habits, however. Horses may not look like they are asleep. But they are! Horses spend aboutsix hours sleeping every day and they do it standing up!
Fish also sleep every day but they have a strange habit. They don’t close their eyes when they are sleeping. When ducks sleep, they keep one eye open and one half of their brain（大脑）awake. It helps them stay alert（警惕的） and watch out for dangerous animals.
So what about us Well, most people sleep for about a third of their lives. The number of hours you sleep, however, has to do with your age. Most newborn babies sleep a lot. They spend about 75% of their time sleeping every day! As we get older we need less sleep. Children need about eleven hours and adults sleep for eight hours every night. So, yes, you spend many hours a year doing nothing-sleeping in bed!
But you are not just asleep—you are not really doing nothing. Your body and your mindrelax during this time, but a lot of things happen during sleep. Dreams are one way that the mind relaxes after a busy day. A person spends about 20% of every night dreaming. That means you have about four or five dreams every night or about 1 ,600 dreams a year.
