Every animal needs sleep, and this is the same to birds, so do cold-blooded animals, such as snakes. But what aboutinsects? Do they need sleep? Scientists have been trying to f 51 out the truth on insect sleep behavior for years.
And for the first time they thought insects did not need sleep.
According to some researches, the insects’ brain was not made up of many d 52 parts, so they didn’t need
it. Scientists said that some kinds of brain a 53 like dreaming, were sleep behaviors. People need time to sleep
and we have all kinds of dreams every nights. Insects do not dream, so scientists said that they did not sleep. They b 54
that insects rested, instead.
However, new studies have shown that some insects may actually sleep. There are four types of behavior d 55
sleep. First, sleeping people and animals don’t move much. Also, they stay still and have a position for sleeping, such as
lying down and closing their eyes. They do not wake up e 56 when hearing noises around them or seeing light.
Lastly, they will be able to come out of sleep quickly in response to some strong stimulant.
Scientists have now seen similar behaviors in fruit flies. For e 57 , fruit flies don’t move every night for
more than seven hours. At these times, they sit in a different way, let their antennae(触角) drop, and do not respond to
quiet noises. The flies begin to move around w 58 loud noises are made. Scientists think that some insects may
have their o 59 special kind of sleep. They continue to discover other secrets a 60 insects sleeping.
