| Feb 10, 2019 at 22:42 | comment | added | pojo-guy | This is tough because (a) we don't really know exactly WHAT sleep does for an organism, and (b) it occurs even in Medusozoa (jellyfish), which have no brain, but become unhealthy without it. | |
| Feb 10, 2019 at 22:04 | comment | added | John | sleep has nothing to do with the day night cycle, animals need to sleep for unrelated reasons. Some animals evolved to take advantage of the day night cycle to sleep when they are less vulnerable. | |

| Feb 10, 2019 at 19:00 | comment | added | Lisa | The coriolis effect would still impact winds. Multiple studies have concluded that on tidally locked planets, winds may help keep the dark side warm. For example: researchgate.net/publication/… and arxiv.org/abs/1001.5117 or en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… I realize of course there are other factors that make complex life evolving on such a planet very unlikely, but it doesn't seem theoretically impossible if all the right factors come together. | |

| Feb 10, 2019 at 18:46 | comment | added | JBH | @Soan, don't get too distracted by the OP's backstory. I'm all for a good frame challenge, but insofar as it's possible, we should accept the OP's backstory and focus on the question (lest the distraction overwhelm the comments). | |
| Feb 10, 2019 at 18:45 | comment | added | Soan | Yes this would be the case at the beginning but after the initial movement from hot to cold the pressure would be equalized and the air wouldn't move anymore except for seasonal changes of course. | |
| Feb 10, 2019 at 18:33 | comment | added | Lisa | what do you mean how would I explain the airflow? Since there is a thick atmosphere, hot air expands and rises on the light side and cold air condenses and sinks on the cold side, leaving a pressure differential. The hot air then moves into the cold side, cools, sinks, the air at the bottom moving to the warm side. Why would this not be possible because the planet is tidally locked? | |
| Feb 10, 2019 at 18:28 | comment | added | Soan | How would you explain constant air flow when the planet is tidally locked? And as such there are no changing temperatures except for the Yearly cycle. | |
