This fellow was so tired he forgot to brush his teeth, and we all know that there’s almost nothing as smelly as dog breath, he would do well to sleep with his mouth closed!
![Dat Bref. Dat Bref. | Imgur.com/NPaeBKf](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_1115ada8c1885e2a59d4fa2674c885fa/5-11.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
All jokes aside, he’s not a bad doggo, he’s just a little ruff around the edges.
All Sprawled Out
It seems that Sally was a yogi in her past life, maybe that's why she's so flexible. Her human family knows when they find her splayed out, limbs all over the place, that she's dozed off.
![All Sprawled Out All Sprawled Out | Reddit.com/milcientoonce](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_0f9047240bf5fa35f5735b580db9aa72/2-11-scaled.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
If only we could sprawl out like this and sleep so contently!
The Three Musketeers
This terrorizing trio doesn't seem so terrifying at all! There are those people that have said that you need to watch out for pit bulls, but this photo paints a different picture.
![The Three Musketeers The Three Musketeers | Imgur.com/BPvWdpK](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_8ba56d15a2b118bfe05e3924fb1688fb/4-10.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
They look so cute and lovable, all cuddled up, who says you need three beds when one couch will do!
Dat Bref.
This fellow was so tired he forgot to brush his teeth, and we all know that there's almost nothing as smelly as dog breath, he would do well to sleep with his mouth closed!
![Dat Bref. Dat Bref. | Imgur.com/NPaeBKf](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_1115ada8c1885e2a59d4fa2674c885fa/5-11.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
All jokes aside, he's not a bad doggo, he's just a little ruff around the edges.
Nevermind Gravity
Anything is paw-sible when you are a dog, even sleeping in the most unlikely of positions. As humans, we have yet to learn this skill, who knows, it might be more comfortable than we thought!
![Nevermind Gravity Nevermind Gravity | Imgur.com/gHgQGLa](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_02e09c9d7da10b5a01094cac39a91920/6-12-scaled.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
With that being said, there's a lot we can learn from dogs, not only would our sleep schedule improve but we might also learn to live in the moment and stress less about the future.
Dif-fur-ent
Maggie's a real maverick, she could care less about following rules, and instead, she sleeps how she wants, where she wants. We can only admire her for her incredible fortitude.
![Dif-fur-ent Dif-fur-ent | Reddit.com/blacksunrize](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_41746b8f3b787fec6900d6b9c953c286/7-10-scaled.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
She knows she shouldn't sit on the couch but she also knows that if strategically lays down without her paws touching, nobody minds.
Turkey Legs
Today has been ruff for sweet Leonard. I couldn't wait to get some shut-eye, even if that means looking like a turkey on Thanksgiving, this crafty snoozer didn't mind how weird it looked, he just wanted to nap.
![Turkey Legs Turkey Legs | Imgur.com/FYuuwew](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_7f3639f698122b0635ff6ef50b44b5e9/8-10-scaled.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
There really is nothing like napping on the couch when it's been a long day!
She Likes It
Is this sleeping good for Lady's parent's peace of mind, not really. Should we be concerned that it might not be comfortable? Absolutely not, Lady can often be found sleeping like this.
![She Likes It She Likes It | Reddit.com/HaveAMap](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_a5d60eeb37e28b6fe12f88919813d35c/9-10.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Her parents may worry about her but believe it or not, this is her favorite sleeping position.
Oh, Simba
Simba had a habit of finding unusual spots to sleep in, and it amazed his parents so much that they couldn't help but take a photo of him as he rested his head on the table while he snoozed.
![Oh, Simba Oh, Simba | Alamy Stock Photo by Gina Kelly](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_229cd5b86f89f5f0b0e0abe70900af17/D3346M-A-funny-picture-of-a-dog-sleeping-with-his-head-resting-on-a-table-Should-These-Dog-Parents-Be-Concerned-About-Their-Pets-Sleeping-Habits-1024x682.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
It sure is a good life when you're a dog!
Pup-arazzi
Based on the cool shades, this dog is an important celebrity and obviously doesn't want to be recognized while he's out at the park.
![Pup-arazzi Pup-arazzi | Shutterstock Photo by Anton Havelaar](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_5b1b99d62e569293410882f58fce6b0f/shutterstock_646294831-Should-These-Dog-Parents-Be-Concerned-About-Their-Pets-Sleeping-Habits-dog-sleeps-on-man-who-lies-on-park-bench.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
He was hoping his bodyguard would keep the pup-arazzi away while he caught a few winks!
Don't Sleep Where You Eat
Sandy knows better than this, yes, she might be impatient when it comes to waiting for her food but at least she knows how to use her time waiting for her food by sleeping.
![Don't Sleep Where You Eat Don't Sleep Where You Eat | Reddit.com/yayadee17](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_cefe3c930bfae8aeb0df401225d9037b/DontSleepWhereYouEat-ShouldTheseDogParentsBeConcernedAboutTheirPetsSleepingHabits.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
She loves her bowl so much, she doesn't mind using it as a pillow.
Drooling on the Job
Yes, this might be cute but only if you don't mind getting drool on your steering wheel. No one dares bother him, though, not only because he looks so peaceful but have you seen those fangs?!
![Drooling on the Job Drooling on the Job | Reddit.com/highimallaudin](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_bced1439b54e7ede9d0ee79ab803ada0/DroolingontheJob-ShouldTheseDogParentsBeConcernedAboutTheirPetsSleepingHabits.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
He may be sleeping now but we wouldn't want to meet him when he's wakes up on the wrong side of the steering wheel.
How Do They Do That?
Most people would be impressed by how flexible dogs can be when they find a comfortable sleeping place. It's as if they can paw-fectly nail any pose imaginable without even trying!
![How Do They Do That? How Do They Do That? | Reddit.com/atrimarco](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_cf47e5501fd6a02939db36bd2d7786c7/comfortable-sleeping-place-Should-These-Dog-Parents-Be-Concerned-About-Their-Pets-Sleeping-Habits.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
We've done a little bit of research and it turns out that the reason dogs are so flexible is because they have supple spines which make them extremely agile.
Stairdale Airedale
Apparently, even the stairs can be comfortable. We can't help but wonder, is that a dog or just a misplaced carpet rug?
![Stairdale Airedale Stairdale Airedale | Imgur.com/yk6Tdft](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_7b58129e94fc0df7bda865c8a2a46481/16-11.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Of course, it's an Airedale, with their fluffy coats though, we're sure they get confused with household furniture even when they're not lying like this.
Piggyback Nap
No one at the animal shelter told Annie her dog loved piggyback rides, I mean who doesn't like a piggyback, but Annie soon realized that this is how Blue liked to fall asleep.
![Piggyback Nap Piggyback Nap | Imgur.com/5UG4Hl1](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_c802829368686101815d17ab0aa15357/This-is-how-my-dog-is-sleeping-right-Should-These-Dog-Parents-Be-Concerned-About-Their-Pets-Sleeping-Habits.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
She's not complaining though, in fact, she loves when Blue cuddles up to her to fall asleep.
Flop or Feat?
Sally was overcome with drowsiness and somehow flopped into the shape of a ball before falling into dreamland. It must be slightly unsettling to see your dog sleeping like this.
![Flop or Feat? Flop or Feat? | Reddit.com/cadencecleo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_4c759307fb5c9088325b431863bd8677/FloporFeat-ShouldTheseDogParentsBeConcernedAboutTheirPetsSleepingHabits.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
We like to think of Sally as a pro when it comes to flopping into a ball or is she making a feat?
Sleep Walking
After hours of playing and running around, Jenny has the tendency to doze off while trying desperately to stay awake. But when she can no longer keep her little eyes from closing she eventually falls asleep right there and then.
![Sleep Walking Sleep Walking | Imgur.com/sfDp8Cc](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_8eff511ddd1435fd6b703003dcee6219/SleepWalking-ShouldTheseDogParentsBeConcernedAboutTheirPetsSleepingHabits.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Those Paws
How did this little pupper manage to fall asleep with his legs straight in the air like that? He is quite paws-ibly the cutest dog on our list so far!
![Those Paws Those Paws | Imgur.com/rSEgtQ8](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_945eecdae2c00a2d127653ca5a671f7b/ThosePaws-ShouldTheseDogParentsBeConcernedAboutTheirPetsSleepingHabits.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
And look at the size of those paws, she sure is going to be a big girl one day!
Flat As a Pancake
This pupper was adamant that he wanted to sleep under the chair, and how he managed to do that was by lying flat as a pancake. He obviously wanted to expose his belly to the cool floor but we're not sure about the chair?
![Flat As a Pancake Flat As a Pancake | Reddit.com/anonymous](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_948d38d3b2dc124972eb322e3b0d81e9/22-10.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Maybe he wanted a feel some sense of cover, without getting too hot?
Tail of Two Beds
These doggie parents invested in two beds: a bigger one for the big guy, and, obviously, a smaller one for the little fella.
![Tail of Two Beds Tail of Two Beds | Imgur.com/paperchazz](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_75585e7ed967690b42c505385244c05c/TailofTwoBeds-ShouldTheseDogParentsBeConcernedAboutTheirPetsSleepingHabits.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
But apparently, intent means very little to dogs, at least they can easily sleep no matter how big or small their bed is.
I'm So Tired
Here we have another yoga position, the sleeping lotus and Dino has perfected it! Just like the way, a toddler would fall asleep; Dino can also sleep anywhere and in any position.
![I'm So Tired I'm So Tired | Imgur.com/BNgd1cd](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_65daeacf15924b55160bd3882ecceec9/ImSoTired-ShouldTheseDogParentsBeConcernedAboutTheirPetsSleepingHabits.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
We would say that we're impressed but by now, we've seen that dogs can very flexible when it comes to sleeping.
Perfecting Diving Position
This doggo dreams of becoming an Olympic diver, literally! This is a pretty neat tuck, with his hind legs straight and his posture perfectly aligned, 10/10!
![Perfecting Diving Position Perfecting Diving Position | Reddit.com/TheBestAtWhatIDo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_e9350773d48dc78de5c3dc5fff8b90c1/awkward-sleep-posture-dog-olympic-diver.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Keep on dreaming pup, you'll get there eventually.
Chilling
We wish we could relax as much as this pup, almost as much as we wish we could rub his belly! How adorable is he?!
![Chilling Chilling | Alamy Stock Photo by Bettina Monique Chavez/Stockimo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_a0aef070cf6963c7c3497cadfa3a8004/S0BW57-ShouldTheseDogParentsBeConcernedAboutTheirPetsSleepingHabits.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Little Bruno looks very chill for a puppy, he probably had a full day of exciting adventures and now he's completely passed out.
Lights Out
Dogs either love riding in the car or hate it. Tina, on the other hand, seems to be confused about how to sleep on her way to the park.
![Lights Out Lights Out | Reddit.com/floydthebarb3r](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_12c0f319e96bd766520145f6e551791e/funny-dog-sleeping-positions-94-5d5f95586950e__700.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Tina managed to fall asleep on the door, the best thing about this photo is the reflection!
Chubby Puppy
Puppies don’t come home with their adoptive parents already knowing how to sit. Especially if they don’t have an older dog to look up to, they are more likely to imitate their humans.
![Chubby Puppy Chubby Puppy | Imgur.com/vfIUJ1N](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_796d0b85273845a110621f9d323e1b8c/funny-dog-sleeping-positions-22-5d5f8fa6dc5c6__700.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
This little guy isn’t only adorable but he sits on his bum like a human too!
Good Night!
By the look of things, this pup must have had a long, hard day at work. He spent hours and hours and what does he have to show for it?
![Good Night! Good Night! | Imgur.com/eyrxcFA](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_b9386844694b183c8dddc407881580a7/GoodNight-ShouldTheseDogParentsBeConcernedAboutTheirPetsSleepingHabits.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
When you have four legs, it can be hard to sleep in a normal position, all those appendages need somewhere to go!
Like a Mouse
This pup loves to sit on her human's lap and tune in for a movie every once in a while. Not only does she enjoy watching human-shows but she also enjoys sitting on humans. Sometimes, however, she'll fall asleep like this.
![Like a Mouse Like a Mouse | Reddit.com/recreationAtion](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_4680f157c29d2a0ea09eff7476f05551/LikeaMouse-ShouldTheseDogParentsBeConcernedAboutTheirPetsSleepingHabits.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
We wouldn't be surprised if this upper is part-mouse, those ears and that mouth are paw-sitively mouse-like!
It's Hammock Time
We can't blame anyone for wanting to curl up in a hammock, but unfortunately, nobody even helped little Benjy learn the ropes. Instead, their first impulse was to take a photo.
![It's Hammock Time It's Hammock Time | Shutterstock Photo by Eddie Dean](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_dddd0616aad21f0e1c0d9f725b3c75e9/shutterstock_478976341-Dog-relax-in-hammock-Should-These-Dog-Parents-Be-Concerned-About-Their-Pets-Sleeping-Habits-1.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Let's use this photo as a reminder that even when dogs are trying to sleep in a new spot, they might still need our help!
Hello, This is Dog
We would be delighted if we received a spontaneous visit from a friendly canine! We also noticed how he managed to stand on his two hind legs, obviously, he can't help himself and wants to take a peek inside to see who's coming.
![Hello, This is Dog Hello, This is Dog | Imgur.com/PtveszV](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_64c82069b7e38a30852ec93b2611dc83/25-10.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Maybe he wants a cuddle or a treat or would just like to say a neighborly 'hello.'
This Stick is Mine
This dog really, really likes sticks and he was not going to let the stairs stop him from bringing this one home! We're all familiar with how much dogs love their sticks, for some, it's the thrill of chasing the stick.
![This Stick is Mine This Stick is Mine | Imgur.com/oYi7x](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_c98538ec50df8c45b5dd4accf3a89672/26-5.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
While others just enjoy the entertainment of chewing on wood. And some just like carrying around their catch like a prize.
Oh Dear
Looks like this little pupper was barking up the wrong fence! How did he manage to get stuck between this fence and the lining behind? Whoever was looking for him was probably surprised to find him in such an odd place, but also relieved, so they took a photo before helping him out.
![Oh Dear Oh Dear | Imgur.com/1T7DP](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_656a05658dbc8833036355e72f370b03/28-4.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
We can tell the pup is also relieved, just look at that smile on his face!
Roofing Around
Guess what kind of construction are dogs like the most? Roofing. Now with that joke out the way, let's dive right in, how did Buddy get up that high? Did he climb through a window to comfort his dog-ma? Or did he just want some fresh air on the roof and then his mama came to comfort him?
![Roofing Around Roofing Around | Imgur.com/VKXG5k6](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_e52e6bc4762b6a531ae1d5d27eb2f47f/29-5.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
There are those who say a photo says a thousand words, but this one only raises questions.
What's He Looking At?
Looking out the windows and watching the birds in the garden while cars drive by must be the best life any pooch could have. But some dogs have a more refined taste and instead, prefer to stare at paintings, examining every detail and element.
![What's He Looking At? What's He Looking At? | Imgur.com/9EZfv1b](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_61b8dc59699b3afcdc395266f2602c0c/30-5.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Perhaps he's 'paw-ndering' the mysteries of life and his place on this earth, or maybe he just likes the colors.
Pawlympics
The original saying goes, "monkey see, monkey do", but we could easily replace "monkey" with "puppy". This husky saw some girls doing the cartwheel, and she also wanted in on the fun.
![Pawlympics Pawlympics | Alamy Stock Photo by Neniya Lanti](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_ace697bd5c7e83ae3c047cf4bf318150/EMR6XY-oman-girl-dog-pet-husky-play-playing-beach-Should-These-Dog-Parents-Be-Concerned-About-Their-Pets-Sleeping-Habits-1024x683.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
She could definitely work on her landing but we give her an A for effort!
Looking Quite Fetching
Most dogs just like to pee on fire hydrants, but this funny fellow saw the hydrant as an opportunity to show off his incredible balancing skills.
![Looking Quite Fetching Looking Quite Fetching | Getty Images Photo by Joel Hawkins](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_ac0adb7b14aaa6884520890c076a168f/GettyImages-178921056-ShouldTheseDogParentsBeConcernedAboutTheirPetsSleepingHabits-LookingQuiteFetching.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
And all we want to do is give him a round of 'appaws,' his poise is quite outstanding!
Poor Pupper
This little pupper still had to figure out how doors work, even though he could see through the glass, little Jack didn't realize that the door was wide open and he could walk around to the other side.
![Poor Pupper Poor Pupper | Imgur.com/gU3GAQP](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_b188e1839ba98dbbe03b3c90480cb4dd/34-5.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
His owners thought this to be too adorable and so do we!
Pug Life
The puggle is real! When you happen to be a pug, you might face certain hardships that other dogs don't, like breathing easily. But this pug had to deal with a different kind of struggle.
![Pug Life Pug Life | Imgur.com/AjKaramba](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_88b7d6ee17807d5d07adab95d29640c5/Pug-Life-Should-These-Dog-Parents-Be-Concerned-About-Their-Pets-Sleeping-Habits-1.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
All he wanted was some water but he was fooled by the shadow, oh my pugness, how cute is that!
Thank You So, Mush
Why bother buying your dog an expensive and plush dog bed when they would rather just hang out in the toilet? Of course, we'd prefer if they would tell us this before we spend $100 on the ergonomic cushion, made especially for dogs.
![Thank You So, Mush Thank You So, Mush | Shutterstock Photo by Annette Shaff](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_af5c0b48d41043c57b30db1eaaedf79d/shutterstock_59776345-ShouldTheseDogParentsBeConcernedAboutTheirPetsSleepingHabits-ThankYouSoMush.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
We can just imagine him saying: "Thanks for the fancy bed, but this bowl is much better."
Come Rain or Shine
Sparky took a snooze on the back patio and then it began to rain, but, most impressively, he kept napping and didn't mind getting a little wet from the rain. When it stopped and he got up, there was a perfect outline of his position left on the floor.
![Come Rain or Shine Come Rain or Shine | Reddit.com/Laguerche](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_61609b88b996c3d4b58db5dca361eb04/38-5.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Sometimes you just need to get a proper nap, it doesn't matter if there's sunshine or rain!
Bone Appetit!
Dogs tend to go for spot chewy toys to keep them company but this pup befriended a brick instead. Yes, it's surprising, but what's more, he never grew out of this phase!
![Bone Appetit! Bone Appetit! | Twitter/@aritsmo](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_6ec0b9b14e0b9912cafb695545c384ac/dog-and-brick-Should-These-Dog-Parents-Be-Concerned-About-Their-Pets-Sleeping-Habits-scaled.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Just like dogs, we also have our quirky likes and interests that we never grow out of.
Deck the Paws!
Marco loved his first time ever out on the boat, but this fearless, life-jacket-wearing husky proved problematic for the boat's driver, who struggled to see through his happy dog.
![Deck the Paws! Deck the Paws! | Reddit.com/Reckoner08](/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/117833/rid_35e7884ee7e69f1c1ab9904a22f5895e/40-4.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
With his paws on the front deck, Marco felt like the king of the world.
Going Mutts!
Sniffing the bottom of the box for any leftovers proved to be this dog's undoing: the box-headed doggo ended up quite literally box-headed.
![Going Mutts!

Sometimes looking for a treat, is not such a treat.
