Everyone needs sleep, including animals. Different species and people’s sleep patterns and patterns correlate with their mental health, daily schedules, etc. On average, dogs sleep twelve to fourteen hours a day, while cats sleep twelve to eighteen hours. If an animal is extremely sick, they may fall asleep more often or barely at all. “My pet, Winston, sleeps three times a day. He has a normal, healthy sleep schedule,” Jose Navarrete said. There are many benefits to a pet sleeping as much as they need to, but too much can mean they have depression, diabetes, or hypothyroidism. We should all look out for our pets to maintain a healthy sleeping schedule.
