Do ants sleep?

YES! So this question came to me as I was driving back from the beach and was watching an ant wander aimlessly back and forth across the inside of my windshield. I think he eventually took a nap, as I lost track of him before we got home. Apparently, worker ants sleep in shifts, so it may appear that they are always working. Queen ants can sleep as much as nine hours a day
