Neither nocturnal nor diurnal, Andorians can function just as well at any time of the day or night. In fact, they can easily survive on 3 to 4 hours of sleep during a standard 32 hour Andorian day. | Neither nocturnal nor diurnal, Andorians can function just as well at any time of the day or night.

The blue skin associated with Andorians is due to a protein dye called HZB-41. This protein dye is produced by almost every form of animal life on Andoria - though the dye has a very short life span, and as such, Andorians continously replace this protein through their diet. When an Andorian becomes ill, their skin coloration tends to fade, as their immune system is fighting off illness and cannot produce enough dye to maintain their skin colour. | |||
