Queen fire ants fall into relatively long, deep sleeps and kip for an average of nine hours every day. By contrast, workers sleep just half as much and get to rest by taking hundreds of short power naps. This division of rest may help explain why queens live for years, while worker ants typically only live for months.

Queen ants can doze off regularly while worker ants are forced to take multiple naps that generally last for a minute, which result in 250 naps a day, that gives them approximately 4 - 5 hours of sleep a day. Queen ants usually take naps 90 times a day, 6 minutes each which result in 9 hours of sleep a day. Worker ants also take turns for naps so that they can protect their territory and keep the workforce active throughout the day.
