Interesting facts about animal sleeping

Hi guys!! I was so sleepy yesterday and today, and that actually inspired me to a new topic kk So today let's talk about animal sleeping.

1. Humans

Neonates, 1 years old babies, sleep almost all day. Can you guess how much they do? A) 24 hours B) 16 hours C) 12 hours

The answer was... (drumroll pls) B!!! 1 years old neonates can sleep 16~20 hours. OMG that means only 4~8 hours of activity!!

Adults... well... most of you guys would know. So I'll just tell you. (If you don't know, try to guess!!) It's 8 hours. Tears blur my sight when I think I will have to sleep only that and work all day ㅠㅠㅠ


2. Tigers

One of the most strongest animals, tigers, sleep almost as much as the neonates. (15.8 hours) Since tigers are carnivores, they don't need to hurry themselves in sleeping.


3. Cats & Dogs

(Quick TMI: I'm going to raise a cat one day. I WILL!!!!)

Cats and dogs' sleeping amount is similar, so I just paired them. Another quiz then!! How many hours do they differ in sleeping with each other? (= cat sleeping time - dog sleeping time) A) 3 hours B) 1.5 hours C) 30 minutes

The answer was..... (another drumroll please) B again!!!!! kkk

Cats sleep about 12.1 hours, and dogs sleep 10.6 hours.


4. Goats

Goats might be hard to guess. So, I will give you one hint, and only two options to choose from. (-> 50% chance!!)

Hint: Goats are herbivores. Think about tigers' sleeping. (Tigers were carnivores, remember?) Sleeping time for herbivores means being exposed by their enemies.

A) Goats sleep about 13 hours. B) Goats sleep about 5 hours.

The answer was... (SUPER BIG DRUMROLL PLS!!!) B) once again!!! kkkk

5. Giraffes

This one might be a shock to you- at least, it was one for me. Giraffes are, like goats, herbivores. Therefore, they must sleep a little. (Just so you don't get confused: some herbivores sleep a lot, too.) Giraffes even sleep standing up!!! Oh my gosh. Anyway, last quiz.

A) They sleep 4.3 hours B) They sleep 3.8 hours C) They sleep 1.9 hours D) They sleep 28 minutes

Was it too difficult? haha The answer was surprisingly NOT B, but C!! Heehee


SO, how many questions did you get right? One of the blogs I wrote, ANIMALS THAT ARE MISTAKENLY THOUGHT, apparently had some viewers getting none wrong. kk So I wish you good luck!!

0 right: Um... that's ok!!! (0 points)

1 right: Wow great job (20 points)

2 right: OOH marvelous (40 points)

3 right: Wow!!! Congratulations! (60 points)

4 right: OMG That is so so so amazing (80 points)

5 right (all right): Um. ARE YOU GENIUS?? (100 points!!)

So today, I have written about sleeping hours of various animals. Sleeping time is the same as cleaning your brain, so it's important for all of us to sleep at appropriate times. (As you know, we have to sleep 8-10 hours a day.) Ugh, talking about sleeping actually makes me woozy. I'll have to go... BYE!!
