hasn't been studied much, but some scientists say that yes, ants do sleep. It's not exactly like human sleep, but ants seem to go through cycles or periods of rest and inactivity in which their body functions and brain activity slow down. It may seem like ants don't sleep because some part of the colony is always busy, but individual ants do need to rest.

Yes. It may be hard to tell, because they don't have eyelids so they don't close their eyes, but they do sleep. Check out the link below for way more information on the subject.
