Not even a whole hour.

Deer sleep for many hours each day but not the same kind of sleep as we do. They can even sleep with their eyes open since they are a prey species and need to stay alert. But they often sleep curled up like fawns or just lying down.

deers never sleep. they have evolved a simple coping mechanism which means that they can stay awake 24 hours a day if needs be. However in times of high stress and long periods of alertness they occasionally sleep. This sleep pattern is so fast and efficient that 1 minute of deer sleep is the equivalent to 2 human sleep hours. Many scientists have attributed deers ability to stay awake to the large quantities of sugar, caffeine and taurine found in their blood. If a human were to have the same level of these substances in their blood they would die. The high level of these substances are due to a deers metropolitan life style of excess coffee, red bull and their most favorite, sweets.
