A dog can bring endless fun to a family home - from their enthusiastic greetings to their delight at galloping after a thrown stick.
And these photos prove pooches are entertaining even when they're asleep.
Animal lovers around the world have been sharing snaps of their pets out for their count online - many in the unlikeliest of positions.
One dog was caught on camera napping in the car, with its hind legs pointing at the roof. Another adorable shot shows a tiny dog with its paws covering its eyes as it snoozes.

Is It Good to Sleep with Your Dog in Bed?
People love sleeping with their dogs, and it’s safe to say the feeling is mutual.
Often considered part of the family, the chemistry between dogs and people is undeniable. That’s why of dog owners report sleeping next to their dogs.
Cuddling up with your four-legged pal feels good, but it’s not without problems, including sleep interruptions.
Let’s explore the advantages and disadvantages of sleeping with your dog, plus tips for getting a peaceful night’s sleep together.
Potential benefits of sleeping with your dog
Pets benefit their people in many ways. Whether sleeping with your dog or cat enhances those benefits is up for debate and may depend on your personal circumstances.
May not decrease sleep quality
Having a dog in bed can affect your sleep. Of course, there are other contributing factors, such as the number of people and pets, pet size, and bed size. It all has to sync up.
A small study of adults found that people sleep just fine with a dog in the bedroom but less so when the dog is actually in the bed. A good solution may be to keep a dog bed beside your own.
Other research found that when compared with cats and other people, dogs in bed were perceived to be less disruptive to sleep.
If you wake up refreshed and aren’t fatigued during the day, your dog is probably a good sleeping buddy.
Provides comfort and security
A 2018 survey of adult women showed that a dog in bed is associated with comfort and security more so than sleeping with another person or a cat. It’s a feel-good thing, particularly if you’re lonely or separated from your dog most of the day.
Boosts mental health
Pets help relieve stress and anxiety. They foster social and emotional connections, which can affect mood and overall mental health.
A showed that human-animal interactions may benefit stress-related factors, such as:
- cortisol
- heart rate
- blood pressure
There’s showing they may help:
- reduce stress-related factors such as epinephrine and norepinephrine
- lower aggression
- enhance empathy
- improve trustworthiness and trust in others
A 2016 study suggests that for people with long-term mental health problems, pets should be considered a main source of support.
Sleeping next to your furry friend may help reinforce those benefits.
Potential side effects and risks of sleeping with pets
While dogs can make good sleep companions, there are other factors to consider.
May decrease sleep quality
Dogs are always on the alert, so they’re light sleepers.
One shows that having a dog in bed increases human movement. This can potentially disturb sleep, but those people rarely remember waking up due to dog movement. This research was conducted on a very small sample of women and may not apply to a wider population.
A dog that snores, slobbers, or overheats the bed is probably not an ideal sleep mate. You may wake up still tired or longing for a daytime nap.
Cats are nocturnal, so they can be challenging nighttime sleep partners. They may want to play or even purposely wake you up.
May aggravate allergies
Pets can carry allergens like dust and pollen into your bed. This can aggravate severe allergies and asthma.
May spread disease
Bacteria, parasites, and fungi can all spread from dogs and cats to humans. Germs can spread through:
- touching feces
- licking the face or an open wound
- scratches
- bites
In the United States, the risk of disease from sleeping with your pet is low, with most risk coming from:
May cause injury
A dominant or aggressive dog in the bedroom is a significant risk for dog bites, especially for children.
Does your dog sleeping in bed give them dominance over you?
There’s no evidence to support the theory that allowing your dog in bed will make them feel dominant.
Some dogs growl or bark when you approach the bed because they may view their sleeping spot as territory to be guarded. Consistent training can break this habit.
Should dogs sleep in children’s beds?
Kids and pets make wonderful companions, but children are more susceptible to germs than adults, particularly if the pet tends to lick.
Aggressive dogs may be especially dangerous to children, and it’s more difficult for a child to get quality sleep with a pet in the bed.
Pets shouldn’t sleep with an infant. If you’re not sure your little one is old enough to have a pet in bed, talk to your child’s doctor.
How to sleep with your dog in bed
If you share a bed with someone else, it’s important that they agree with the sleeping arrangements. Here are more tips for achieving nighttime harmony:
- Walk your dog before bed.
- Train them to wait for permission to get on the bed.
- Be consistent with rules. If you don’t want your dog on your pillow or under the blankets, make no exceptions.
- Discourage aggressive behavior by removing your dog from the bed.
- Visit the veterinarian for regular checkups and vaccinations.
- Use preventive flea and tick treatments.
- Deworm as advised by your veterinarian.
- Wash your hands after cleaning up after your pet.
- Change your sheets and bedding regularly.
When things hit a snag and a good night’s sleep can’t be had, have your dog sleep elsewhere until you work things out. Get advice from a veterinarian or professional dog trainer.
When you shouldn’t let your dog in your bed
Even if you enjoy having your pet in bed, it’s not always a good idea. In some cases, you’ll need to put a temporary hold on bed sharing. In other cases, it’s best avoided altogether. If you have serious health issues, ask your doctor if it’s safe for your pet to sleep in your bed.
Consider sleeping without them if your pet:
- is a new addition and hasn’t had a checkup or vaccinations
- isn’t potty trained or has diarrhea
- has worms, mites, fleas, or ticks
- bites or scratches
- moves around a lot
- snores
- is a big drooler
- is very large
Or if you have:
- a sleep disorder or are a light sleeper
- severe allergies
- a compromised immune system or serious health issues
- an open wound
Takeaway
Many people look forward to snuggling up with beloved animal companions. Pets have been known to affect sleep. But for many people, the emotional benefits balance any negatives. It all comes down to personal choice.
When weighing pros and cons, consider your health, your dog’s health, and quality of sleep. Take up problems or concerns with a doctor or a veterinarian.
If your dog is well-behaved and you wake up feeling refreshed, then roll over and let them hop in.
35 Photos of Snoozing Dogs That Will Make Your Heart Melt
Sleeping pooches have the ability to calm even your biggest stresses. After all, who could look at a photo of a dog dozing off without feeling a little bit more at ease? If you need a boost of zen, here are 35 photos of snoozing dogs that will make the rest of your day a bit easier. (You can thank us later.) .

During the day, it's likely that your dog takes advantage of your unoccupied bed. (A free bed means more room to strike silly poses, after all).

This puppy loves to cuddle up close to their favorite stuffed animal during long afternoon snooze sessions.

As any dog would likely tell you if they could, the most comfortable place to nap is on their human's lap.

There's a good chance that this smiling Chihuahua is dreaming of digging up the biggest bone known to man.

What's better than a sleeping beagle puppy? An entire litter of sleeping beagles puppies, obviously!

After a long day of napping, this fourth nap was well-deserved.

We can only imagine how exhausting it must be carrying around all of that cuteness.

Just like their human owners, dogs sleep better with something to spoon.

A true sign of canine exhaustion? This Chihuahua's adorable belly display.

Adorable nap, party of two!

If this isn't a win-win, we don't know what is!

This kitten seems to be truly enjoying being taken hostage by an adorable sleeping puppy. (Though, is it really considered being "taken hostage" if you want to be there?)

Even though this puppy is fast asleep, she still knows to keep her stomach exposed in case a good belly rub comes along.

These newborn Siberian huskies are getting some rest before a long day of exploring their new home.

All dogs know a restful nap can be taken anywhere, at any time of the day.

Sometimes the best pillows are your napping brothers and sisters.

Though these two are the best of friends, the Rhodesian ridgeback still can't quite figure out why the English bulldog insists upon hogging the whole bed.

What would you give to be the puppy in the very center of this adorable cuddle puddle?

Even dogs enjoy an afternoon of cuddling with their partners.

What mom can't relate to this feeling?

There's nothing wrong with a little sunbathing on a lazy afternoon.

Has anything ever looked so soft in the history of dogkind?

Aside from TV-watching seating, your leather couch is an ideal spot for your pug to catch some Z's.

This dreaming dog was simply so exhausted after a full day of play that he immediately plopped onto the bed and passed out.

Every once in a while, your dog will actually fall asleep in their own bed. And when they do, hopefully it's as cute as this.

One minute she was playing peekaboo, and the next minute she was sound asleep!

Either this pug has a serious sense of humor, or she simply couldn't be bothered to turn on to her belly before falling asleep.

It's an exhausting game, pupster. We get it.

Rather than paying hundreds of dollars to see a therapist, some simply suggest looking at pictures of sleeping corgis to ease your stress levels.

Apart from snoring loudly, this Chihuahua also has the habit of sticking out his tongue during afternoon naps.

Patrolling the perimeter of the yard all day long can be incredibly taxing.

These pooches are cuddled up so tightly that you can only see their snoots through their cocoon of blankets.

In this photo, one corgi puppy tries to wake the other after he fell sound asleep during a photoshoot. Models, are we right?

Confirmed: The pavement is a perfectly acceptable place for a morning snooze session.

We are truly bewitched by this precious pug, whom we have to give an A for effort! And for more on dogs that will make you LOL, check out these 25 Hilarious Dogs Who Look So Much Like Their Owners It's Scary.

Quickly releasing the over-strained member, I put it to Irka's cave. So that the head appeared in front of her between her legs. Feeling his heat, she began to massage him with her left hand, while continuing to lean against the chest of drawers with her right hand. Kid, you are gorgeous.
