 known anyone who can sleep at standing position? I think you must name him or her- "horse-man" or "horse-lady".(like spiderman and batman)
Yeah...Horses have a unique system of interlocking ligaments and bones in their legs,which covers as a sling to suspend their body weight without strain while their muscles are completely relaxed.
This way,horses don't have to exert any energy consciously to remain standing but their legs are locked in the proper position while sleeping.Most horses do most of their sleeping while standing,but patterns differ. If they are sleeping at standing position continuously for as long as a month or more, it was not unusual; lying in on position for a long time also can cause muscle cramps.

This style of sleeping is good!
Marine Mammals such as dolphins, and whales manage to sleep without drowning, because half their brain sleep while the other half stay awake and handle the breathing and swimming chores.the two hemispheres of their brain work totally independently.For 8 hours, the entire brain si awake. The left side

then sleeps for 8 hours. When it wakes up,the right side sleeps for 8 hours.Thus,the marine mammals get 8 hours of sleep without ever having to stop physically.
Useless Knowledge: A whale's penis is called a dork. Know any dorks??
