Do Tok'ra Sleep?

Hi, I'm starting to really wonder about this. I'm convinced the Tok'ra don't sleep, but is there canon for it? [Any other hard-canon facts about the Tok'ra would be awesome too!]

There's canon for Tok'ra (and Goa'uld) sleeping.

I think most/all of it is in Jolinar's Memories/The Devil You Know.

1) Sam says "You stayed up all night before she left." (or something to that effect) about Martouf/Lantash and Rosha/Jolinar making their goodbyes before a dangerous mission Jolinar was going on. Wouldn't make much sense if they didn't normally sleep.

2) Martouf/Lantash is sleeping on the teltac. Sam wakes them up when she can't sleep and want to try the memory recall device again, in order to remember more of Jolinar's memories before they arrive.

3) (Goa'uld this time). Jolinar seduces Bynarr, has sex with him, and then steals the "key" to the transporter while he sleeps (which we see him do).

So, I would say they sleep.
