Corals sleep at night, even without a brain

TL;DR


Summary:
- Corals, which are marine invertebrates, have been found to exhibit sleep-like behavior at night, even though they do not have a brain.
- Researchers observed that corals retract their tentacles and reduce their activity levels during the night, similar to how many animals sleep.
- This discovery suggests that the ability to sleep may have evolved much earlier than previously thought, and it provides insights into the origins of sleep in more complex organisms.
