Dogs quickly restore their energy and spirits during sleep. However, dogs do not sleep from night until broad daylight; they always remain alert while sleeping. Dogs have their own unique ways of sleeping, and their sleeping habits can vary.

Dogs like to sleep under tables or in small spaces
Many dogs enjoy sleeping under tables.
This is because many homes are too high for them, and the large space above feels unsafe. Imagine how we would feel if we had to stay in a room with a ceiling many times higher than our own height—it would feel unsafe.
For dogs, the height of the table matches their sense of security, so they feel more at ease sleeping under it.
Dogs like to sleep with their back against something
Dogs being in a place they cannot see can make them feel scared. This is why people often stand back-to-back when fighting—our backs, like a dog’s, are a vulnerable area.
When dogs sleep with their backs against a wall or something else, facing outward, they are ready to react quickly in case of danger.
Dogs like to sleep with their back facing your head
If you often lie on the same bed with your dog, you might notice that dogs like to sleep with their backs toward you, facing outward.
This is similar to the previous habit of dogs liking to sleep with their backs against something.
In a dog’s nature, where the owner is, it feels safe. When a dog turns its back to you, it shows trust, believing that you won’t harm them even if they can’t see you.
So, even if your dog lets out a smelly fart in your face, it’s actually a sign of trust!
Dogs like to sleep near your feet
Some dogs are very clingy and want to stay close to their owners. If you sit at a table or watch TV, the dog will likely stay nearby, and when bored, it may sleep at your feet. Most people will have experienced this.
Warm reminder
When a dog first arrives in a new home, it’s important to choose a suitable place for its bed. If you’ve prepared a bed for a new dog, place it in a quiet corner or against a wall in the room. If the bed has a top, that’s even better, as it will be easier for the dog to adapt to such a sleeping environment.
