9 creatures that don't sleep

Pravrajya Suruchi

Dolphins: Dolphins are mammals that need to come up for air regularly, so they can't afford to be completely unconscious.

Orcas: Orcas, also known as killer whales, are similar to dolphins in their sleep patterns.

Bullfrogs: Studies on bullfrogs have yielded conflicting results, but some research suggests they might not sleep at all in the traditional sense.

Jellyfish: Jellyfish don't have brains, so they don't sleep in the way we do. They may have periods of reduced activity, but it's not the same as sleep.

Sea Stars: Similar to jellyfish, sea stars lack complex brains and don't exhibit sleep behavior.

Sponges: Sponges are very simple organisms and don't have nervous systems, so sleep isn't necessary for them.

Insects (fruit flies): Fruit flies seem to require very little sleep, with some studies suggesting they can survive on just four minutes a day.

Alpine Swifts: These incredible birds can fly continuously for up to 6 months during their migrations.
