It is funny that one of the things we are never shown in nature documentaries is animals sleeping. It is bordering on the suspicious, because every time that night falls on the Savanna in Africa, instead of a bunch of sleeping gazelles, we are suddenly shown a whole world the seemingly never sleeps. But we can confirm that this is a lie designed to make us think that animals have superpowers. And to prove to you that animals do indeed get tired and can be just as tired as us on a day when our boss has been breathing down our neck, we made this list of overtired animals, who much like you are struggling to make it to their end of day report.

So we recommend taking your time, and perusing this list carefully such that you will never be mistaken again, that animals do indeed sleep and most likely, they sleep more than you.

  • The corporate treadmill sure does keep us moving fast. And of course we would get overtired after several decades of running along the path, just trying to keep up with our own spending habits. But you would not want to make yourself cheaper, just to run less now, would you?

  • Just look at this poor pupper, working within an inch of its life. Thank goodness it has a pair of Mexican pawrents to take care off it and spoil it after a hard day’s work in the office. Otherwise, who knows what kind of quality of life, or lack off, this precious pooch would have.
