Standing up to sleep can be uncomfortable and may not allow for the deep, restorative sleep that lying down provides.

No, a giraffe does not sleep standing up. Giraffes usually sleep lying down, either with their head resting on their hindquarters or tucked under their body. They only need to sleep for short periods and can do so both during the day and at night.
Yaks usually sleep lying down in a resting position. They prefer to sleep in secluded and sheltered areas to protect themselves from predators and harsh weather conditions. Yaks are naturally adapted to high-altitude environments, so they can also sleep while standing to quickly move to a safer location if needed.
