i just came across a question and since it was unanswered i was hoping if anybody here knows how long a snail sleeps. funny, i thought they're just slow creatures. i didn't know they even sleep weirdly.

I saw your question, and I just had to know the answer, hahaha. Snails can supposedly sleep or hibernate for as long as 3-4 years! Normally, they sleep during the day and come out at night to feed.

3-4 years, they sleep for 3 - 4 years until the climate is suitable for them. the number of years also depend on what kind of the snail are, and where their habitat is.
