Do Plants Sleep !

In a sense, all plants sleep, when the sun goes down and there is no light.Photosynthesis cannot takeplace when it is dark, and the plants cannot make food. They close down the stomata and respiration alone continues. Some specie of Calathea, Ctenanthe and especially Maranta, fold their leaves or roll their leaves up at night.
