A video circulating on TikTok showcases a dachshund who apparently loves to nap for “20 hours a day,” eagerly joining in for a snooze session with its owner.
The clip shared by @lokisausage2708, has garnered a whopping four million views within just three days of being posted.
The video captures the adorable pup waiting at the top of the stairs before making its way to the bedroom, where it settles down on a pillow with half-closed eyes, clearly ready for a well-deserved rest.
According to a study by researchers at North Carolina State University, dogs typically have two main bursts of activity each day, with one occurring in the morning and a longer period of active play later in the evening.
Interestingly, the study also found that dogs tend to be more active on weekends compared to weekdays.
It’s not uncommon for dogs to enjoy napping, with many small, medium, and large breeds opting to snooze alongside their owners, as reported by the American Pet Products Association.
While cuddling up with your furry friend might be comforting, it’s worth noting that sharing your bed with your pup could potentially disrupt your own sleep, as highlighted in a study published in Anthrozoös.
In response to the viral video, users on TikTok couldn’t help but express their delight at the dog’s nap-loving habits, with comments like “he’s like lorrdddd today drained me” and “acting like they haven’t already been asleep all day” flooding in.
From playful observations like “LOL he’s sleeping like he went to work with you”
… to endearing remarks such as “Doggie been waiting for his nap all day,” it’s clear that this sleepy pup has captured the hearts of many online viewers.
