Beware: the following adorable content may leave you in a state of incredible awe.
1. Warm dreams
This little guy fell asleep warming its paws. The resultant photo may be one of the cutest things you ever see. I’m sure this pup’s nice and cozy by the heater.
2. Double couch potato
This dog uses two couches to sleep. Although the methodology is perhaps a bit unusual, the results are solid. As long as he stays balanced everything should be fine…
3. The upside down
Sleepy? Well, the couch has plenty of room! But you’re usually not supposed to “lay” on it like that… I hope this dog’s back doesn’t hurt in the morning!
4. Dog on the shoulder
This guy’s getting pretty snoozy. Fortunately, he has the perfect pillow! That’s one peaceful dog!
5. Passenger passout
This is one of the best passenger’s someone can ask for. Look how adorable this little pooch is! The tongue hanging out really adds the cherry on top.
6. Standing and laying at the same time
This dog needed some shut eye, plain and simple. She couldn’t decide between laying or standing though… Have you ever seen a dog sleep like this?
7. Floor snore
This lovely little one’s passed out on the floor. Don’t disturb this dog… Even though it looks uncomfortable, the floor isn’t all that bad when you have a lot of hair!
8. Bending Boxer
I’m not sure his body’s supposed to bend like that… This one might hurt in the morning. Is this a dog or a pretzel?
9. Comfy corner
This is doggo’s corner. It’s rather comfy. Just huddle up in the nook and your sleep’s bound to be fantastic.
10. Asleep in the backseat
What are you supposed to do when you’re on a roadtrip and sitting in the backseat? Well, you sleep, of course. This dog knows what it’s doing.
11. Car door snore
He just couldn’t keep his eyes open. Car rides can lull you to sleep, so I can’t blame him! Look at that adorable reflection.
12. Three dogs
These three dogs need some rest. What better pillow than your best bud! This is beyond adorable.
13. Wall pillow
A safe sleep spot can be hard to come by. When this dog didn’t know where to go, it chose the wall. I guess that’s not the worst place to sleep.
14. Asleep at the wheel
Never drive tired. This dog hasn’t learned that lesson yet! Those are some gnarly teeth!
15. Sofa surfing
Sofa pads can make wonderful pillows. Sometimes, they make even better beds. This looks both painful and peaceful.
16. Sleepless gnaw
This dog’s asleep. I heard the chair wood helps with stability… Whatever works, I guess.
17. Sleepless legs
This one’s out cold! But those legs have a mind of their own! This doggo does look at peace, though.
18. Sleeping beauty
This pup looks so happy. She has a somewhat idosyncratic sleep style. But it works for her. Just look at that smile on her face.
19. Princess
Awww, look at her. I don’t now how she does it, but she’s resting well. I hope she doesn’t slide into the crack next to the sofa…
20. Laying out
Aww, look at him. He looks so peaceful. There’s something to be said about his sleeping position. But he makes it work.
21. Laying out
Some people sleep on their side. Others sleep on their back. This dog is a back dog… But those legs.
22. Master contortionist
That’s one big dog! But he’s also a master contortionist. I wonder if this is going to hurt in the morning…
23. Standup dog
This is a real standup dog. Literally. Like it stands up while it sleeps. This might be groundbreaking!
24. Stretched sleep
That’s one long dog! I hope this doesn’t lead to chronic back pain. If not, then more power to him!
25. Man’s best friend
They say that dogs are man’s best friend. Well, they’re definitely right. Is this doggo wearing sunglasses?
26. Feet while asleep
When she’s weary, she rolls into a ball. She’s known to hold her feet when she sleeps. And it’s absolutely adorable.
27. Dog bowl dozing off
Sometimes real pillows aren’t available. When they’re not, you gotta grab the next best thing. All things considered, it’s not all that bad.
28. Where’s the head?
This is some serious contortion… How is this physically possible? Are we sure this is a dog?
29. Flat on the floor
This adorable doggo’s laying flat on the floor. There’s no need for pillows or blankets of any kind. A chair is shelter enough!
30. Toilet nap
The toilet is a sacred place to both human and dog. This dog can sleep anywhere. Even under the toilet.
31. Stair sleep
Some dogs just need their space… No seriously, some dogs need a weird confined space to sleep. Just check out this guy…
32. Asleep on the steps
Don’t you ever just want to fall asleep on the steps? This dog does it all the time! With that much fur, it’s honestly not all that bad.
33. One paw up
Sleeping with an arm up isn’t easy. But dogs are known to sleep in the most ridiculous positions. Did this pup’s paw stay up the entire length of the nap?
34. The neck
This doggo’s sound asleep. Come to think of it, this dog has a really long neck. That neck’s definitely going to be sore in the morning!
35. Every bit as adorable as unusual
I’m not sure how this is even possible. But this dog looks pretty pleased. That looks like a really comfy chair, for what it’s worth.
36. Sideways
Everyone has their own weird sleep style. But this dog takes it to an entirely different level. Sleeping is better sideways, anyways.
