Reindeer Sleep and Eat Simultaneously, Saving Precious Time in the Short Arctic Summer
You may think you’re good at multitasking, but no one can do two things at once quite like a reindeer. These animals are able to eat and sleep at the same time. Isn’t that the dream?!
The Reason Why
Summer is very short in the Arctic, which means reindeer don't have a lot of time to store food for the long winter months. Therefore, they store up all the fat they can during summer - and that's pretty much all they do in those months. Reindeer are so busy eating in the summer months, that they don't pause to sleep - they just do it at the same time.
