Dogs sure know how to snooze, and their sleeping habits are as fascinating as they are adorable!

Dream on: Like us, dogs experience REM sleep, the stage where dreams occur. That twitching paw? They’re probably chasing squirrels in dreamland!

Sleep styles: Some dogs curl up tight for warmth, while others sprawl out to cool off. Their sleeping position can hint at how comfortable they feel.

Big sleepers: Dogs sleep an average of 12–14 hours a day. Puppies, seniors, and larger breeds often need even more rest to recharge.


Dog sleep is more than just cute—it’s essential for their health and happiness. So, the next time your pup dozes off, let them catch those Z’s guilt-free!
