Does an insect close its eyes when it sleeps?

They don't have eyelids, so they don't close their eyes as we do. Cockroaches, however, will fold their antenna when they sleep, which has the similar purpose of protecting delicate sensory organs.

Insects do seem to alternate between periods of rest and alertness, but it is not clear if they sleep in the same way humans and other animals do. Scientists have established that insects have some kind of circadian rhythm that determines periods of stasis and alertness. Scientists haven't found a way to study insect brain activity, as they have in other animals, to see if typical rest patterns occur.

Insects do sleep, but their sleep patterns and requirements differ from those of humans. Insects have periods of rest and activity, but they don't have a fixed sleep cycle. Some insects can have multiple short periods of sleep throughout the day, while others may go through extended periods of rest during specific developmental stages.

insects do sleep. Insects clearly rest at times and are aroused only by strong stimuli: the heat of day, the darkness of night, or perhaps a sudden attack by a predator. This state of deep rest is called torpor and is the closest behavior to true sleep that bugs exhibit.
