Answer by  LethaHarris50 (4)

Dogs sleeping patterns vary by breed and age. Some dogs can sleep from 10-12 hours a day, where puppies could sleep up to 20 hours in a day. Sometimes they sleep in short nap likes stages and sometimes, they sleep longer, more like a human.

Dogs, unlike humans, usually sleep throughout the day rather than for an entire night. They usually get about 12-14 hours of sleep per day, but can survive on less.
