Do plants sleep at night? 
if yes! then how do we study the pattern at what time does the plant sleep and when does the plant wake up? Are they following any rhythm/pattern of sleeping and waking up? if the plant slept, how would we know that it slept? And wouldn’t be fun to know all this? wouldn’t be fun to know the Science/molecular mechanism behind the Circadian(Activity around 24 hours) rhythm/Sleep wake cycle in Phyllanthus plant? Surprisingly, 
i found Phyllanthus plants on the roof of my house in every plant pot. So it can be found everywhere.

Phyllanthus plant in Mampilly Kerala (CUBE Home Lab-Lakshmy)
To understand the Sleep wake pattern of a Phyllanthus plant, i have planted four Phyllanthus plants in one pot, have kept this pot in natural environment and i will be observing the sleep wake pattern that’s at what time these four plants will open its leaves or closing them at what time? I’ll be observing these plants for a week, every day wake up and sleeping time will be updated here, and after a week i am going to put this place (having Four Phyllanthus plants) inside the room under the LED light to observe the effect of continuous light on the sleep wake pattern.

[color=#]unfortunately all leaves of the plants turned yellow i guess they were not replanted carefully and i couldn’t able to continue the observations but my collaborators have continued the experiment from their places.[/color]
