Octopuses are known to sleep and to change color while they do it. Now, a study publishing March 25 in the journal iScience finds that these color changes are characteristic of two major alternating sleep states: an “active sleep” stage and a “quiet sleep” stage. The researchers say that the findings have implications for the evolution of sleep and might indicate that it’s possible for octopuses to experience something akin to dreams.
