    Do Ts catch Zs?

    Do tarantulas sleep? Surely in comparison to the full waking consciousness vs the unconsciousness that us humans have is impossible given our brains compared to their minimal nervous systems. But do they have an altered state of relaxation separate from their active "awake" time? I think they...
