Have you ever tossed and turned all through the night, unable to sleep because of worries about your job, your studies, or your bills? If so, you are not by yourself. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 50–70 million American adults have a sleeping issue of some kind. There are a lot of exhausted folks there! There aren’t as many data on animals and sleep, but we found some images of cuddly creatures that show many of them are capable of dozing off at any time.
Laundry Is Such A Chore
Let’s face it, no one likes to do laundry. But how many of us can say that we’ve fallen asleep while putting our clothing out to dry?Yeezy Shoes Are Still Piled Up in Warehou
This cat apparently decided to take a nap rather than do chores and she fell asleep stretched out on the laundry rack. Looks… comfortable?
This Pig “Nose” How To Get A Good Night’s Sleep
Can’t bear how adorable this is, OMG! This little piggie is soundly dozing off while lying next to her mother’s snout. She also appears to be sleeping soundly despite having a baby on her face.
All the way down to the adorable blonde eyelashes, that kid is like a “mini me” of her mother. They seem to be in hog heaven right here, the two of them. It is stated that pigs are particularly skilled at resting and eating. At least the sleeping part is demonstrated by this image!
Not A Safe Way To Drive
Many people, especially young children, are easily put to sleep in moving vehicles. This dog appears to fall into that category because it appears to be fully unconscious while operating the vehicle and has its head pressed against the pedals. Such danger. The two coffee mugs in the center console suggest that the dog may even have narcolepsy and requires caffeine constantly in order to stay awake.
Look at the green cable sticking out of the dashboard, I suppose. Maybe this dog is a mechanic and is working on the electrical system of the car down there? That’s probably it, I agree.
Champagne Wishes And Kibble Dreams
Oh, to be a puppy asleep in a huge dish of food. That’s everybody’s dream, right? Maybe not, but this baby pup seems to be totally content to have passed out while in the middle of a meal. The fact that her whole body is in the bowl might indicate that she needs a smaller dish, buts she’ll probably grow into it pretty fast if she keeps eating so much food.
I mean, a dish that large would probably hold her body weight in dog kibble at this point. After eating such a huge meal just about anyone would zonk out.
Cleanup On Aisle 12
It’s really challenging to determine exactly what is happening in the picture. The cat appears to have fallen asleep right there in Target’s laundry section, but there are a lot of unanswered concerns regarding how it got there. Is this a cat buddy that can perform errands for its owner but ended up dozing off in the process?
Or perhaps the stray entered the neighborhood 7-11 after consuming a little too much catnip. Its placement directly in front of the chip display would be explained by that.
Cuppa Chippy
Here we have a nice energizing cup of hot coffee, the perfect thing to wake up someone who’s been tossing and turning in bed all night. Oh wait. That’s not coffee, it’s an adorable baby chipmunk who seems to have gotten into a camper’s cup and totally passed out.
Just look at the way he’s perfectly curled up in there… he looks completely content and unaware that he’s sleeping in something that’s better suited to hold hot liquids. We’d let the little guy stay in there as long as he wanted because he’s just too cute to evict.
That’s A Serious Nose Job
At first glance, this dog looks totally comfy. She has a nice warm bed to sleep on and is so relaxed that she’s just letting her head hang off gently with her ears back. But check out the way she has her nose pressed onto the floor.
Did she not notice that while she was drifting off to sleep? It seems like this would be a pretty painful way to take a nap. Wonder if her nose will be all pushed off to the side when she finally wakes up and lifts her head?
The Vet Was Too Much To Handle
It seems like this dog couldn’t handle going to the vet again! In order to avoid being poked and prodded by the vet’s curiously icy hands, he did the best he could and pretended to be dead. It appears that this corgi took acting dead a little too seriously because he simply dozed off in the process.
He won’t be awake for his agonizing exam at least now. Just let’s hope he doesn’t wake up in the middle of it, or else he’ll get quite a shock!
Slothlike
Ever notice a sloth dozing off? Since they move so slowly even when they are active, if you have ever seen one awake you can probably picture what one looks like when they are sleeping. While moving from Point A to Point B, this sloth appears to have passed out totally and had to collapse for a quick snooze.
Fun fact about sloths: Despite how they appear, they are closely related to armadillos. In addition, archaeologists have discovered elephant-sized sloth skeletons. Can you even begin to fathom the size of those claws?
Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner
Here is an animal that melds seamlessly with its environment. Orange cat, orange walls, and orange carpet. Did the cat use its unique indoor camouflage to lurk in the corner and then simply pass out there? Or was it placed in the corner for “time out” as a result of some misbehavior it had committed?
In any case, the cat’s head resting on the wall while it hangs out there seems fully at ease. But when it finally wakes up from its snooze, it’ll probably have a fairly bad neck crick.
Boring Book… Yawn
It must have been dullsville in this book. Even this ferret found it difficult to remain engaged. In fact, it was so dull that it made him fall asleep. I had no idea ferrets were voracious readers, but it seems the smart ones do occasionally enjoy a good book. Clearly, the book in the image is not one of the “good” ones that ferrets like.
Perhaps the book is about a dog, an alligator, or another non-ferret animal. Yawn. But doesn’t the ferret look pretty darn cute fast asleep on top of that dull book?
Potted Hound
Now, this isn’t something you see every day… a hound dog sleeping while stretched out between outdoor pots. This photo raises two different theories. First is that the dog used to sleep in just one of those pots when he was a lot smaller. And has simply spread out to put his head in the second pot now that he can’t fit in just one.
The second theory is that the dog knows that things tend to grow in pots, so is hanging out in there hoping that he’ll become a giant that can intimidate other neighborhood dogs. He’s probably not helping those flowers he’s completely smashed though.
The Straddler
It looks like this small dog might have gotten a little too settled into his latest Netflix binge and just fallen asleep. Lots of people drift off in front of the television. What makes this sleeping dog photo unique is the way that he’s bridging the gap between the sofa and the table, with his body on the couch and head on the table.
If you look a little closer you can see that his face is right next to an inhaler. Remember people, keep all of your prescriptions away from your kids (whether they’re the furry kind or not).
The No-Frills Way To Nap
This is about as bare-bones as it gets when it comes to napping: simply lie down on the nearest hard floor and zonk out. Preferably with your paws held straight up in the air. That’s exactly what this bunny rabbit has done… no bed, no grass, no blankie needed for this sleeping professional. Hey, they say it’s good for the spine to sleep on a hard surface.
Blinded By The Light
A Prickly Position
Porcupines are nocturnal, which means they’re more active at night. So during the day is when they’re likely to try and get some sleep. This prickly fellow passed out while stretched out on a tree trunk, high up in the air. It might seem like a weird place to snooze, but porcupines apparently prefer sleeping in trees, especially on hot summer days. He’s picked a perfect spot, too, since it’s nice and shaded.
King Of The Jungle Doesn’t Care If He’s Cool
When you’re the king of the jungle, pretty much no one is going to try and mess with you. That explains why this lion has allowed himself to fall asleep in such a hilarious position. How absolutely un-regal of him! He’s fully splayed out on his back, with his legs sticking up into the air resting on the wall behind him.
Ice, Ice Baby
You might not believe it, but this cute little squirrel is sleeping in a bowl of ice. That’s right – ice, the really cold stuff that we use to keep our drinks cold. And it looks like the squirrel is in absolute bliss. It turns out that this photo was taken in Oklahoma. The state experienced a severe heat wave, and one local woman felt bad for all the squirrels who were suffering through it.
Uh Oh, Asleep On The Job
Rocky Raccoon
Well, if this sleeping beauty doesn’t take the cake. The raccoon here, we’ll call him Rocky, is just about the cutest napper alive. Even if you take away the adorable pink tongue sticking out, there are so many other terrific things about this picture.
There’s a whole lot of “what?” going on in this scene. I guess these cats went to Japan to take a nap. One chose to lie on a wooden table and the other is trying to fall asleep while draped on top of a watermelon. I have no clue why a cat would choose to hang on a piece of fruit like that, but it actually looks like it’s pretty comfortable.
Guess How Much A Giraffe Sleeps At Night
Now, this is something most of us don’t see every day! This giraffe really doesn’t look too comfortable, does he? With that looooong neck, it’s probably pretty hard to find a comfy position to sleep in. That’s a part of the reason that giraffes in the wild don’t sleep much. In fact, they only need about half an hour a day of sleep!
Care For A Walk?
Most dogs absolutely love to walk. Both of my dogs completely freak out when I get my special “walking hat” out, and continue to bounce around until they’re leashed up and out the door. This dog seems to have a much different attitude about walking. He’s apparently so bored by the activity that he passed out right in the middle of his daily walk.
