    Or REM sleep anyway.
    http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-36150972
    a study of the bearded dragon - a popular pet - suggests these distinctive sleep rhythms emerged hundreds of million of years ago in a distant ancestor.

    ...
    The fact that reptiles, birds and mammals share similar sleep patterns suggests these evolved in a common ancestor some 300 to 320 million years ago

    Or sheep asleep, maybe?

    Either way, we can rest assured that scientists somewhere are wiring some poor reptile's head/brain to some computer.

    "Dream, my pretty!"
