At 0:27 in the 'Pheidole' video, you mention the queen is "sleeping." Are you sure of this? Did you hear snoring?
As far as I know, ants don't truly sleep as much as they simply rest to conserve energy. To understand whether ants truly sleep, in the way we understand sleep, we would have to monitor their brain activity, as well as examine for signs of droolage on the cotton.
Other than that, welcome to the forum. You may embed YouTube videos simply by copying and pasting a link to the single video you wish to embed, directly into your post. That will make it easier for folks to view the video right here on the forum, rather than having to navigate away.

Take a look at the paper linked below. It seems that there is actually good evidence for "sleep" in ants.
