Slept like a queen ant

Do ants sleep?
Is this a queen ant?

This is a first, if it is one.  We don't have ants in our garden. 
Maybe we soon will have!

Actually, I just found this...
Queen fire ants fall into relatively long, deep sleeps and kip for an average of nine hours every day. [That's my kind of kip]
By contrast, workers sleep just half as much and get to rest by taking hundreds of short power naps.
