That is amazing .... although does it go fully to sleep? Indeed do all animals "sleep" in the same way - you can watch cats, large or small that appear to be asleep but will open a very observant eye when something approaches. Catnapping () ... but if you look at a row of birds in a roost, are they asleep as we think of it?

Mind, I've seen humans dozing in cars at far higher speed than 25 mph
