We have problem with flies at home. They swarm in first thing in the morning and just fucken hang around all day. We spray and keep things clean but to no avail. They just keep on coming, but at night ….. nothing. Not a fly to be seen, not one party animal. No little insomniac buzzing fuckers looking for a snack. So I’ve been wondering – “Do flies sleep at night”. This has been on my mind the last while. Strange thing to obsess about I know, but at least it kept the ear worm at bay.
So this evening I finally got around to firing up Google and doing a search. As I started typing in my question Google did that drop down of thing of popular search term to help me out and it seems I’m not the first to ponder this weighty issue, amongst other fly related questions.
4 330 000 results for my question! Bottom line? Flies do sleep at night. They even nap in the day time. Their sleeping habits are pretty much the same as humans. Does not solve our problem, but interesting to note that the poop questions comes up a lot less. A case if ignorance being bliss?
