i think it's funny that you invison conversations in your head with those roboty looking guys. that's a sweet little bounce that fly did when he died too. so are the flies going to start talking about whether humans ever sleep while they're working all the time?

That does explain why flies only live for a few days, falling to doom in their sleep.

argh i just wrote you a really long comment and i dunno if it sent but you peaked my curiosity on the subjects of flies so i found some answer for you:
That's not an easy question. No insects enter a state that is exactly like human sleep, but many insects do rest during the day or night. These rests are called quiescent periods. Insects in these resting periods have a slower metabolism--that is, their body functions (including breath and heart rates) slow down and use less energy. But, during these rests, insects do not "close their eyes" like we do, because they don't have eyelids. Also, insects must stay somewhat alert during these rests to ensure that they are not eaten by predators.
In addition to these daily resting periods, most insects enter a yearly deep sleep called diapause. Diapause is similar to hibernation.

And here is just some general information on the fly.

okay this definitely peaked my curiosity soooo i decided, hey i'll find out... and in my research(using google and askjeeves) i found this:

and i also find out this:
The common house fly is a common flying insect that is found throughout the world.
Anatomy: Like all insects, the house fly has a body divided into three parts (head, thorax, and abdomen), a hard exoskeleton, and six jointed legs. Flies also have a pair of transparent wings. The house fly can taste using its its feet and with its mouthparts. Adults are about 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 - 9 mm) long with 13 - 15 mm wingspan. House flies are dark gray, with four dark stripes down the top of the thorax. They have sponging mouthparts (they cannot bite); house flies can only eat liquids, but they can liquefy many solid foods with their saliva.
Reproduction: The complete life-cycle of a house fly takes from 10 to 21 days. On the average, 12 generations of house flies can be produced in one year. Adult females lay 120-150 tiny white eggs, usually in manure or other warm, moist, decaying organic matter. A female lives for about 2 1/2 months and can lay up to 1,000 eggs in her short life. The eggs are only about 0.04 inch (1 mm) long and hatch into white, worm-like maggots in about 12 hours. The maggots grow to be about 1/2 inch (12.5 cm) long. When they are this big, they burrow into the ground to pupate. An adult will emerge in about 5 to 6 days (in warm weather) or about a month (in cold weather).
Disease Carrier: The House Fly is often a carrier of diseases, such as typhoid fever, cholera, dysentery, and anthrax. The fly transmits diseases by carrying disease organisms onto food. It picks up disease organisms on its leg hairs or eats them and then regurgitates them onto food (in the process of liquefying solid food).
Classification: Kingdom Animalia; Phylum Arthropoda; Class Insecta; Order Diptera ("two wings"); Family Muscidae; genus Musca; Species domestica.

i found this quite interesting and thought to share it with you to help with your quest on flies and i hope this helped

Great. Now I have to be psychologically affected when a fly touches my food. You are cruel.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lmao... well at least its comforting to know whether it sleeps or not while you suffer from typhoid fever, cholera, dysentery, and anthrax.

This is thoroughly amusing.
To answer your question, I do not believe that a fly's life is so long or that its neurological system is so complicated that it needs to sleep.
