When we're kids, we seem to be able to sleep anywhere, in any position. We are more rag doll than skeleton. But as we age, we settle into our preferred sleeping positions.
Animals are more like kids, though, and sometimes we discover them in the strangest sleeping positions.
Like, how are these even comfortable?
It's not that uncommon to find dogs chilling in the bathroom. I think they like the coolness of the tile floor on a warm day. But this takes it to an extreme.
This chubby shih tzu puppy went viral because she sleeps on her back in random places, displaying her delightful belly.
Leela looks like she fell asleep mid-stretch. She also looks like a dog statue that has just been toppled over.
This guy looks like me after a long day at work. Almost, but not quite reaching the bed before passing out.
"He always sleeps like he fell from the 50th floor." The only thing that would make the effect even stronger is if the back legs were splayed out too.
We think of cats as the bendy ones, but as a dog owner myself, I can confirm that they can and will pretzel themselves.
I would think sleeping with only your head and neck to support your dangling body would be uncomfortable, but apparently not.
I wonder if the rock was placed with the gap between it and the glass or if the gecko worked hard to shift it and create this nook.
"Found my cat sleeping like this in the window between the screen and the glass. Pulled him out (in), he looked at me grumpily and squeezed himself back in (out). Sunbathing the derpy way."
This makes perfect sense to me, since I love the coziness of sleeping with my head under the covers, but hate the stale air.
The gap between the couch cushions is probably providing the stability needed to maintain this pose without falling over.
This definitely falls on the weird side rather than cute. The teeth squick me out a lot.
As long as it's the food bowl and not the water bowl, it's safe. Just weird and cute.
That super long neck and adorable overbite really add to it. The big nose too.
On one hand, it's really kind of weird, but on the other hand, it allows you to get a good look at how the cat's body folds into that shape.
It's gone and tuckered itself out!
Admittedly, this would be me after only a few rotations of the wheel.
This kitten is already mastering the rag doll portion of feline physics. It's only a matter of time before it pretzels.
You've got the combination of a big bear and tiny doggo, the smooshy face and blep, and that tummy.
Sometimes you wonder if people caught the weird sleeping on camera once and are exaggerating about how often the animal does it. This one provides multiple pieces of evidence.
I also love how he just casually put his sunglasses on the dog.
