HomeAnimals In The World
1 - Squirrels
Squirrels eat, especially foods high in carbohydrates, proteins and fats, which may be why they sleep about 14 hours a day. Even golden hamsters and ferrets are in the same position of the squirrels. Golden hamster sleeps deep within its burrow to avoid predators during the day. Although these animals sleep a lot, they are very active when awake. However, they are able to sleep almost double what us humans.
2 - Owl Monkey
The monkey-owl is a nocturnal animal indeed - and is also known as the monkey of the night. The owl monkey spends about 17 hours a day sleeping. Most active at night, and widely found in the forests of Central and South America, these monkeys have big brown eyes that help them see more clearly at night.
3 - Cats
Cats, like, mice, pigs and cheetahs love to spend time with a very good sleep quality. They may sleep for about 12 hours a day. Rats, rodents, and the lions are a little ahead of them because they can sleep for about 13 hours a day. That means they are essentially 2 / 3 of his life in dreamland.
4 - Giant Armadillo
Armadillos sleep for about 18 to 19 hours per day. They are most active at night and sleep during most of the day. Scientists still do not know exactly what makes this animal so sleepy. Perhaps it is a solitary animal, the only thing one can think armadillo is crawling inside her den and sleep as much as possible. Tigers and Opossums also sleep the same amount each day.
5 - Koala
An arboreal animal, koalas are in position to be the first animal that sleeps more in the world. Found only in Australia, they mainly live in eucalyptus trees, and sleep 22 hours a day. When awake, they spend all their time eating. While many animals spend more than half the 24 hours of the day sleeping, that does not mean they are lazy. They are really very active when awake. Some animals rest in a "half" asleep, but can be fully conscious. Scientifically, a good sleep and rest, is essential for a healthy body and gives you a chance to repair. For us humans, and adequate rest, sleep is very important to relieve the stress of day-to-day for a few hours and forget the problems we have.
