Dogs are not only wonderful companions but also fascinating creatures when it comes to their sleep habits. Here are five lesser-known but incredibly interesting facts about dog sleep. Remember, providing the right cozy dog bed, like those offered by Purre, plays a key role in ensuring your pup gets healthy and restorative sleep.

Dogs Sleep in Shorter Cycles than Humans
Humans sleep in cycles lasting about 90 minutes, while dogs’ sleep cycles are much shorter, lasting around 15–20 minutes. This means that dogs transition through deep and light sleep phases much faster, which could be why they wake up easily. With the right bed, like our modern Purre dog beds, your pup will have the chance to enjoy maximum comfort during each sleep phase. -
Puppy Sleep vs. Adult Dog Sleep
Puppies sleep up to 18–20 hours a day, while adult dogs typically need around 12 to 14 hours of sleep. Intense sleep for puppies is crucial for their development – it’s during this time that their bodies process new information and grow. It's essential to ensure that a puppy’s bed is properly sized, comfortable, and easy to clean. Purre products are the perfect solution that grows with your pup. -
Why Do Dogs Snore?
Not only do humans snore, but dogs do too! Snoring can result from body position, breathing issues, or anatomical structure, especially in brachycephalic breeds such as Bulldogs or Pugs. A proper modern dog bed that supports the body well can help reduce snoring and improve the dog’s sleep comfort. -
Some Dogs Like to Sleep in "Weird" Places
Does your dog sometimes choose the floor over their bed? This is a common phenomenon. Dogs seek places that are cool, comfortable, and provide a sense of security. That’s why our cozy dog beds from Purre are designed to combine comfort with functionality – their materials are breathable, hygienic, and tailored to the dog’s needs. -
Why Do Dogs "Run" in Their Sleep?
Watching your dog move its paws while sleeping is adorable, but do you know why it happens? It’s due to brain activity during REM sleep, when the dog processes daily experiences. During this phase, dogs "run," "hunt," or "play" in their dreams. To provide the best conditions for such adventures, choose our strong dog beds, which are durable and resistant to intense use.
Summary
Sleep is an important part of every dog’s life, and the right bed is crucial to its quality. By choosing a Purre dog bed, you are opting for modern beds that combine durability, comfort, and stylish design.
