how long does dog like to sleep?
Why the difference? Dogs sleep in shorter bursts, so theyâre less likely to reach that stage. Because they don't get as much deep sleep as humans do, dogs may need more sleep overall to get enough rest. Once you total it all up, dogs typically sleep anywhere from 12 to 18 hours a day. The ânormalâ amount of sleep for a dog varies greatly, but certain factors predict if a dog will be at the higher or lower end of that range. These factors include:
Adult dogs sleep 12â14 hours a day, while puppies often sleep more than that. Right now, my chihuahua, Angel, is lying at my feet snoozing away. Later, sheâll wake up, eat, go outside for a bit and play â and then it will be nap time again.
