Vamos mergulhar no fascinante mundo dos padr\u00f5es de sono das baleias. Tal como os humanos, as baleias s\u00e3o mam\u00edferos com necessidades essenciais de sono, mas o seu estilo de vida subaqu\u00e1tico exige adapta\u00e7\u00f5es \u00fanicas para o descanso.

Os princ\u00edpios b\u00e1sicos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Comecemos pelo princ\u00edpio. Todas as baleias s\u00e3o mam\u00edferos, tal como os humanos, e precisam de dormir para sobreviver. No entanto, esp\u00e9cies diferentes t\u00eam necessidades e m\u00e9todos de sono diferentes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tal como todos os outros mam\u00edferos, o seu corpo necessita de dormir para se regenerar, mas o seu sono \u00e9 diferente do de todos os outros mam\u00edferos. A raz\u00e3o para isso \u00e9 que n\u00e3o se podem deitar, e tamb\u00e9m t\u00eam de se lembrar de respirar. Mas voltaremos a este assunto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sono unihemisf\u00e9rico de ondas lentas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As baleias podem descansar apenas uma metade do c\u00e9rebro (hemisf\u00e9rio) de cada vez, e t\u00eam o olho oposto aberto para procurar predadores ou obst\u00e1culos. Esta t\u00e9cnica \u00e9 designada por sono unihemisf\u00e9rico de ondas lentas. Ap\u00f3s um m\u00e1ximo de 2 horas, podem mudar e descansar o outro lado do c\u00e9rebro. Este processo \u00e9 designado por \"cat-napping\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Posi\u00e7\u00f5es de dormir<\/h3>\n\n\n

Javi Garcia | Fotografia deslumbrante de um Cachalote<\/a> a repousar perto da superf\u00edcie, tirada na ilha de S\u00e3o Miguel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

As baleias podem dormir em diferentes posi\u00e7\u00f5es. Podem descansar a alguns metros de profundidade ou \u00e0 superf\u00edcie da \u00e1gua. A \u00faltima \u00e9 designada por \"logging\", porque neste estado a baleia assemelha-se a um tronco a flutuar. Outra t\u00e9cnica consiste em dormir enquanto nadam lentamente ao lado de outro animal ou num grupo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H\u00e1bitos de sono das baleias rec\u00e9m-nascidas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As baleias rec\u00e9m-nascidas descansam, dormem e comem enquanto a m\u00e3e nada. Ela arrasta o seu beb\u00e9 na sua corrente de sono. Como ainda n\u00e3o t\u00eam gordura corporal ou gordura suficiente, n\u00e3o t\u00eam a flutuabilidade necess\u00e1ria para flutuar sem esfor\u00e7o. \u00c9 por isso que a m\u00e3e n\u00e3o pode parar de nadar durante as primeiras semanas de vida do beb\u00e9; caso contr\u00e1rio, ele afundar-se-ia. Durante esse tempo, a m\u00e3e s\u00f3 dorme em movimento, nadando constantemente. Que m\u00e3e, n\u00e3o \u00e9?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desafios respirat\u00f3rios durante o sono<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Voltemos agora \u00e0 quest\u00e3o mais importante. Como \u00e9 que eles n\u00e3o respiram? Os seres humanos s\u00e3o respiradores inconscientes, o que significa que mesmo quando dormimos e estamos inconscientes, o nosso corpo respira automaticamente para apanhar ar. As baleias, por outro lado, s\u00e3o respiradoras conscientes. Isso significa que t\u00eam de decidir ativamente quando respirar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adapta\u00e7\u00f5es para a vida subaqu\u00e1tica<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Para al\u00e9m do sistema respirat\u00f3rio volunt\u00e1rio, as baleias desenvolveram tamb\u00e9m outras adapta\u00e7\u00f5es. Conseguem suster a respira\u00e7\u00e3o durante mais tempo do que os outros mam\u00edferos, porque conseguem inalar e reter mais ar. Isto \u00e9 poss\u00edvel gra\u00e7as aos seus pulm\u00f5es, que s\u00e3o proporcionalmente maiores do que os dos humanos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onde \u00e9 que as baleias dormem?<\/h2>\n\n\n

\"Mike
Mike Korostelev | A posi\u00e7\u00e3o t\u00edpica do Cachalotes<\/a> quando descansa (e se prepara para dormir)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

J\u00e1 sabemos que as baleias dormem nos oceanos, debaixo de \u00e1gua (perto da superf\u00edcie para poderem respirar) ou \u00e0 superf\u00edcie da \u00e1gua. Os cientistas ainda n\u00e3o determinaram se as baleias t\u00eam locais especiais para dormir, mas encontr\u00e1-los \u00e9 muito dif\u00edcil porque o oceano \u00e9 vasto!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factores que afectam o sono das baleias<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A maior parte das vezes, dormem em per\u00edodos curtos ao longo do dia ou enquanto est\u00e3o a nadar. Mas o per\u00edodo de repouso tamb\u00e9m depende da sua alimenta\u00e7\u00e3o. Por exemplo, o krill migra verticalmente ao anoitecer para evitar predadores como os peixes, mas essa \u00e9 a melhor altura para as baleias de barbas se alimentarem dele. Ir\u00f3nico, n\u00e3o \u00e9?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Necessidades \u00fanicas de sono das baleias<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ao contr\u00e1rio de outros mam\u00edferos, as baleias t\u00eam necessidades de sono diferentes. Se n\u00f3s, humanos, n\u00e3o dorm\u00edssemos o suficiente, acabar\u00edamos por morrer, mas as baleias s\u00e3o diferentes. Os cachalotes s\u00f3 conseguem dormir durante 7% do tempo, normalmente a cerca de 10 m abaixo da superf\u00edcie. Durante este tempo, entram num sono mais profundo com uma consci\u00eancia menos aguda. As baleias beluga e as baleias-cinzentas dormem durante 32% a 41% do tempo, enquanto\u00a0baleias jubarte<\/a>\u00a0podem descansar \u00e0 superf\u00edcie at\u00e9 30 minutos; caso contr\u00e1rio, perderiam demasiado calor corporal quando inactivos.<\/span> Tamb\u00e9m realizaram pesquisas, constatando que um baleia-piloto<\/a> teve apenas 6 minutos de REM (Rapid Eyes Movement - fase do sono associada ao sonho e \u00e0 consolida\u00e7\u00e3o da mem\u00f3ria) numa \u00fanica noite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclus\u00e3o<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Assim, existem alguns dados sobre os h\u00e1bitos de sono das baleias, mas ainda h\u00e1 muito trabalho a fazer antes de sabermos tudo, se \u00e9 que alguma vez saberemos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
