It gives our body a welcome rest from the tensions and worries of the day, and it’s no different with our canine companions, although they rest longer than people, averaging 10–12 hours daily in multiple bouts.

However, as they are polyphasic sleepers, sleeping bouts are also observed during the day. Interestingly, it’s another adaptation of domestication as their ancestors were likely crepuscular, like present-day wolves.
