Do plants “sleep”?

Question

I can’t think of an animal that doesn’t have some kind of day/night cycle. I’d be surprised if it didn’t impact almost every living thing in some way. Plants generally photosynthesize, which means they are probably also highly in sync with cycles of the sun, but what do they do at night? Is that when they move nutrients around? Make complex starches? Do other cool stuff? Do they sleep?

“Sleeping” is resting the brain, Plants don’t have brains so they don’t sleep. They do have “day modes and night modes” but neither would be considered sleep
