I Need A Nap: Heart-warming Pics Of Animals That Worked Hard For Their Beauty Sleep

There are so many things about our fur buddies that are awwdorable. From their wagging tails, to their warm embraces, to their wet noses. But perhaps the most heart-warming of all is when they curl up (ideally on us) and take a nap. The way they rest their head on their paws, their little dream induced kicks and grunts and best of all their little yawn when they wake up.

Though this is not the only cute thing animals do when they go to sleep, in fact there are many different ways to sleep in the animal kingdom. Giraffes like to sleep on their bottoms, cats can wake up immediately, pigs prefer to sleep nose-to-nose and bees can even learn while they sleep. The world of animal nap time truly is a complex and wondrous one. Today we celebrate the many forms of the awwdorable animal nap, so we hope you enjoy this collection of the cutest animals enjoying their well deserved sleepy time.

"ultimate sleepy animals"

There is no cheetah-ing this nap time. This pride of cheetahs look like they have put in some tireless hours in the savanah hunting down their dinner. It is more than safe to say that they are deserving of their beauty sleep. Which is no surpirse when you take into account that these lethal predators sleep up to 50% of the day. Now those are some sleepy felines.

"Anyone else like to tuck their animals in when they get sleepy?"

We can probably all identify with this cat owner, who wouldn't want to tuck in their little fur baby like a purrito. That is of course if we are given written permission from our kitties at least a week in advance. Otherwise you can be sure to find yourself in a frenetic, bitey/scratchy situation.
