Scrolling trying to find something to watch... I read the title of the video and kept scrolling and then I paused and was like, "Wait, how do birds sleep during migration?!?!?" I never knew I needed the answer to this question until this video!!! Subscribed because where there's one unasked question answered there must be many more!!! 😂😂😂
I m a seaman I saw birds staying on the ship for 10 -15 days while sailing and they eat fish at day keep flying around and sleep on deck at night. And we sailed around 300Nm a day so that's how they napped
I used do swimming training for the State Championships early in the morning like 4 am before school. Sometimes I was so tired I used to have a quick micro nap while swimming just to relieve the tiredness. It seemed to help.
Our heart beats and lungs breathe while sleeping so perhaps some aspects of flying are autonomic and separate from the need for REM or being alert... During human sleep our muscles are suppressed so we dont move while dreaming. Perhaps birds do not have or need that suppression, especially since there is less danger flying in the sky than navigating ground terrain without consciousness.
This video makes several assertions about frigate birds that make the accuracy of the whole suspect. 1) The text below the title banner asserts frigate birds are "migratory" and the narration at 0:12 states that male frigate birds fly vast distanced to find "a hospitable breeding ground." Wikipedia says "Genetic testing seems to indicate that the species has fidelity to their site of hatching despite their high mobility." That is to say frigate birds tend to raise their broods near to the place they themselves were reared. 2) The animation of frigate birds shows them flapping their wings to fly. Wikipedia says "Highly adept, they use their forked tails for steering during flight and make strong deep wing-beats,[45] though not suited to flying by sustained flapping." and "[They] soar continuously and only rarely flap their wings." and "frigatebirds are thermal soarers, using thermals to glide"
Birds also use the position of the sun during the day and the stars at night to navigate. Some species can even adjust their navigation based on the Earth's rotation and seasonal changes.
I once slept driving on the highway for a stretch of about 30km & was horrified waking up dreaming I was driving when I actually doing for real. I pulled over one side of the highway gasping in shock to take in what had just happened. Can you please also do a topic of we humans enter this autopilot mode...
I once fell asleep during class and was dreaming that I was listening to the discussion. When I woke up I still remembered the topic. I wish I could do it on command.
Migratory birds take position into warmer air streams at highest athmosferic zones which aids them for travelling without swings their wings, just as a glider over several miles...
given brain hemispheres control opposite side of body, how does a sleeping hemisphere coordinate with a non sleeping hemisphere to synch body movements
Meanwhile, I've noticed the birds around my house in Florida, House wrens, Cardinals, etc., appear to sleep from sundown to dawn, approx. 10-11 hours a day- which is a lot.
You failed to mention the fact that the reason birds fly in the pattern they do is primarily due to the fact that they’re sleeping, one eye open watching the bird ahead and just to the side of them
I found out that I get more sleep while driving compared to stopping to try and rest for a few minutes, as soon as I stop I wake up, but while driving it feels like 1/2 of my brain is sleeping.
And me,,, I slept while I was driving my motorcycle in a long distance journey 7 to 8 dogs got together and they barked at once at me Then I became awake that I was sleeping
I thank you so much for this amazing research. At least to me, this is the final nail in the coffin for any evolutionary process. This had to have been designed into their brains. To shut off one side of the brain, and one eye at a time, while still flapping 2 wings and maintaining direction blows my mind. A human can't eyeball a cell phone and drive at the same time, nor even shift a gear shift or change a radio station on a car, without affecting the rest of the body. Very well done my friend. 🧐👌
Wait a minute! 200 days of flight? You mean this happens during migration ONE WAY. So let's say when the bird gets to its destination destination and immediately turns back that would be 400 days. Why bother to migrate? Now, if it is not a migration then why a silly bird would fly for 200 days? And by the way, how do they eat during those 200 long days?
In vetebrates, the default neuronal movement impulse is bilaterally symmetrical. Think snakes wiggling or fish swimming. This default mechanism, is controlled/overridden via bridging nerves between the two hemispheres, in a structure called the corpus callosum in humans. BIrds don't have a corpus callosum. The only interhemispheric connections they have is the anterior commissure and a smaller hippocampal commissure. Thus, the default bilaterally symmetrical movement patterns will dominate in birds, except in very specific circumstances. There are a lot of default vertebrate movements like this, that occur below conscious control, even in humans.
While being sleep deprived during the crucible (Marines know what that is), I once fell asleep while hiking in formation. And when I woke up, I was still hiking lol. So it is possible
The animation is misleading for the frigate bird. They barely expend energy and ride updrafts to 30k feet. Gliding down from that height takes virtually no effort and would take hours. They are not flapping constantly like your video portrays. Just like the minimal effort the frigate bird expends during flight, editing the video to accurately depict how animals actually behave would require minimal effort. Please do a better job of animating your content.
More than a few coworkers show long periods of decreased activity but they perk up near lunch and quitting time. Are any small desk-mounted REM trackers available?
Are you serious with questions like this If people actually need to be explained to that they stop at night and sleep in trees then something is wrong with all of them
I've made it a point to continuosly rest one half of my brain. I'm a half-pint, living on a half acre, living life as a half-a$$ed person. When I die, I will go to half-in. 👍
This story reminds me how much billionaires tell lies about themselves sleeping less than the rest of us working when in fact they got inheritance and shady deals.
God says in the Qur'an that "Do they not see the birds above them with wings outspread and [sometimes] folded in? None holds them [aloft] except the Most Merciful. Indeed He is, of all things, Seeing.''
Politicians do this while in Parliament: half their brain sleeps.
BJP!
Which leaves zero brain awake.
And they forget to bring the other half.

they usually have this button on their chest called ap-1 and ap-2 ,
when pressed they go automatically follow the pre-flight plan programme .

It's possible to sleep while running too.
I also fell asleep during walking for about 2~3 minuts, and I slept dosens of times while standing.
Will you believe I fell a sleep for few seconds while riding a motorbike.
i was flying a f22 raptor and i fell asleep for only like a second, two at most. but when i woke up i was still on my couch and the tv was still on.

Super awesome vid! So succinct, and full of information. Great work!
Birds are amazing ❤

I too have done this. Snap out of it and realize I have no memory of the last half hours drive.
I once fell asleep during class and was dreaming that I was listening to the discussion. When I woke up I still remembered the topic. I wish I could do it on command.
That is absolutely fascinating.
As I gazed into the mirror this morning, i said, "frigate, I'm never going to be a bird", as I continued to brush my teeth.
Excellent video & worth watching to end.
Glad you enjoyed it
Yeah, it was so long... glad you mentioned this
Love the animation!,, and funny too
Just what I wanted. Thank you very much for your well made infographic animation and good narration. I am happy.😊❤

It would be nice to see actual vid or pictures of the birds.
Science is awesome.
The animations are top notch 👌😂
Don't show this to my manager... He'll be trying to push the "semi-hemispherical sleep" routine tomorrow.
0:32 Hahahaahaa.. That first bubble on the left. 😅

I have slept while cycling. Not a great thing to do but it has happened during endurance rides.
And me,,, I slept while I was driving my motorcycle in a long distance journey
7 to 8 dogs got together and they barked at once at me
Then I became awake that I was sleeping
Huh! Cool! Never even thought of that was just about to go sleep.
Nice information.. Neatly explained with amazing graphics. Thanks. 👍
Most welcome 😊
I just love how you say that "birds put half their brain asleep", no buddy, GOD designed that feature.

Religious people keep one half of the brain asleep to avoid critical thinking and the other side awake for the preacher.
Why atheists can't go a minute without trying to criticize religious people lmao live your life bro
Don't tell others what to do
atheists trying to not be unhappy challenge impossible
As a theist, I could make an even stronger argument about atheists. The name alone.. without even getting into the concepts.
I had no idea birds that small could migrate that far
Wait a minute! 200 days of flight? You mean this happens during migration ONE WAY. So let's say when the bird gets to its destination destination and immediately turns back that would be 400 days. Why bother to migrate?
Now, if it is not a migration then why a silly bird would fly for 200 days? And by the way, how do they eat during those 200 long days?
I have on question: if one hemisphere is asleep, how is the wing controlled by that hemisphere being flapped?
In vetebrates, the default neuronal movement impulse is bilaterally symmetrical. Think snakes wiggling or fish swimming. This default mechanism, is controlled/overridden via bridging nerves between the two hemispheres, in a structure called the corpus callosum in humans. BIrds don't have a corpus callosum.

Yes but an albatross can fly for two years over the ocean without touching ground, so how do they sleep.
Thank you.
I feel sleepy just watching this
Hi. Can you add YT audio translation pro all languages of europe ? Thank.

They use their field bed at the new area!!laughter!!
Why don't their wings get tired from all the flapping?
Did the family guy animators animate this vid?
Sleep?
Sometimes they just say
"Frig it."
That’s not a swift, it’s a pratincole
These frigging birds are interesting.
Nowadays we human beings watch TH-cam with less sleep than those birds!!!
History is full of reports by soldiers who claim to have slept during forced marches.
Maybe dolphins sleeping while swimming explains beachings.

I see 20 people sleeping while stand everyday downtown minimum. High out there mind unresponsive and on the feet simultaneously
After this and many more such facts it is foolish to believe that randomness can Create this.
Makes you wonder why we need sleep at all ..

I thought they nap in clouds like they do in Dumbo
When you see ducks and geese on the water you see them do this all the time.
Humans also do same when they walk in sleep
Muscles are moving but one side of brain in sleep
Usually when people sleepwalking, they are extremely tired after waking up. It's not very effective for humans compared to birds.
1:46
Dog sled dogs sleep during runs.
Really, all that has me thinking about is how birds fly at night?!?
I always thought they went on auto pilot
Soo.... some bird have 2 core CPU... They can park one core while the other core is active. Got it.
TH-cam algorithm been crazy
Probably highway hypnosis
I wish we can fly like birds not with planes 😮
Stop for the night,usually a estuary or a farm field.🙄
Albatross is the best
autopilot on 😂
They simply turn on Autopilot
This story reminds me how much billionaires tell lies about themselves sleeping less than the rest of us working when in fact they got inheritance and shady deals.
Mammals cannot sleep while moving muscles?
Human who worked a 15 hours shift driving back home - Try me
They just turn on auto pilot
Its migration, not migraine.
Uhmm?
Your frigate birds migrate asleep
And us thinking we invented full self driving
(this is a joke)
Birds can roam the entire world without Visa. Why not same for human?
I always thought birds that fly into planes must have been half-witted.
I have slept while riding my bike
They sleep by closing their eyes😂
God says in the Qur'an that

Might have something to do with evolution. The ones that slept got eaten.
