Seems likely like the need for sleep then selects for many social/group behaviors. “Solo self-found” is not really an option unless you’re really good at hiding

- carlosjobim 2y agoMost animals sleep alone, that's simple reality.
- pazimzadeh 2y agoRecent work suggests that "Animals that live in groups do not sleep in isolation": https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169534724001769 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016953472... So now we just need to know what percent of animals live in groups. While older studies suggest that most mammals live alone, new field data show that only 22% of mammals are solitary: https://zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jzo.13145 https://zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Keep in mind that my claim doesn't require them all sleeping together - any protective any social behavior would suffice (e.g. Having look-outs, etc.) Since it's such simple reality, surely you can support your claim? Maybe you were talking about non-mammals?
