They seem to always be out during the day and during the night. When do they find time to sleep? And if its just a little bit, how do they remain so active on such little sleep?

Not science: based on 30+ years of observation of Texas white tail deer. They seem to adjust sleep habits to their local environments and make changes as necessary. They can go from diurnal to nocturnal to avoid other species (pig, turkey, human) that move in or through the area, if there has been dramatic weather changes (temp, biometric, storm) and seasonal events like rut and new fawns. They don’t have jobs or appointments, so they don’t really have hard schedules. As far as where, you’ll usually see some batted down high grass, frequently under a small tree.
