Sleep in non-human animals refers to how the behavioral and physiological state of sleep, mainly characterized by reversible unconsciousness, non-responsiveness to external stimuli, and motor passivity, appears in different categories of animals.
Rats kept from sleeping die within a couple of weeks, but the exact function of sleep is still unknown.
