Each half sleeps alternately. Perhaps sleeping in water as a mammal requires mich more processing power.

Dolphins need to come to surface to take air so you may be right. I also remember reading about how dolphins sleep and I remember there were 3 parts of the brain that were alternating sleep to make breathing possible.
