Do mosquitoes sleep at night?

Mosquitoes do not sleep at night in same way humans sleep with eyelids and REM sleep, but they have periods of inactivity and rest that are considered sleep-like states, and their activity depends on species, with some species being nocturnal and active at night and others diurnal and active during day. Many common mosquitoes like Anopheles mosquitoes that transmit malaria are most active at dusk and dawn and at night, feeding on humans while they sleep, and they rest during day in shaded, cool places like under leaves, in closets, or in vegetation, entering sleep-like state with reduced responsiveness. Aedes mosquitoes like Aedes aegypti that transmit dengue and Zika are more active during day, especially early morning and late afternoon, and rest at night. Mosquitoes have circadian rhythms and need rest to maintain brain function, and studies show they have periods of reduced activity and responsiveness that are regulated by clock genes, similar to sleep. So do mosquitoes sleep at night, some species rest during day and are active at night, so they do not sleep at night, while others are active during day and rest at night, entering sleep-like state. Overall, mosquitoes have daily rhythms of activity and rest, with sleep occurring when they are not actively seeking hosts, and their sleep is more like inactivity with reduced response to stimuli, not deep sleep like mammals.
