Debunking Common Sleep Myths – How do Horses Sleep?

Have you ever wondered how horses sleep?? 🦄😴 Here are a few fun facts:

  1. Horses sleep in the standing up positions to tricks potential predators into thinking the animal is awake and less vulnerable.
  2. Horses engage in light sleep while standing, but cannot experience REM sleep unless they lie down.
  3. Most horses only need 5 to 7 hours of rest each day, and less than one hour of that rest is REM sleep.
  4. Horses likely dream since they experience REM.
  5. Male horses yawn much more frequently than female horses!
