Ants are fascinating insects that never truly sleep like humans do. Instead, they take many short naps throughout the day and night, which keeps them active and alert almost all the time. This behavior helps their colonies work continuously without losing efficiency.
Each ant in a colony has a specific role, such as foraging, caring for larvae, or defending the nest. Their short rest periods allow the colony to function smoothly, with some ants always awake to respond to dangers or food sources.
Understanding how ants rest helps scientists learn about social insects and how they cooperate so well. Their unique sleep patterns are part of what makes them such successful creatures. Shutdown123
