How come dogs sleep so much?
On average, dogs sleep 12 to 14 hours a day. Some believe this is due to their lack of activity while others think it is a genetic pre-disposition. During sleep, canines go through a slow wave sleep (SWS) phase and a rapid eye movement (REM) phase.

About Sleep
Sleep is necessary for mammals and many other animals, in order to rejuvenate their bodies. During sleep consciousness is lost or reduced and we are less responsive to external activities. Most people need at least 8 hours of sleep per day in order to function at their highest level. Not getting enough sleep can increase the risks of cancer, heart disease, obesity and diabetes.
