Look at him! He's so tired! Look at him!

Organized by the World Association of Sleep Medicine, it’s an annual event that’s both a celebration of sleep and “a call to action on important issues related to sleep.” Though education about sleep disorders and problems caused by lack of sleep is very important, we’d like to focus on the first part of the event: celebrating sleep. Sleep is a very wonderful thing — and nobody sleeps better (or cuter) than animals. Especially baby animals. So, in honor of the blissful phenomenon that is sleep, here are 10 videos of cute animals snoozing. Grab your pillows and blankets and get some inspiration. **1\. A pug** Quentin falls asleep sitting up and then keeps falling over but then sitting back up because he’s just a pug and he doesn’t know any better: **2\. A little baby chick** It takes a quick snooze under the chin of a cat who is also taking a snooze: **3\. A Shiba Inu puppy** This very precious, very fluffy little pup barks gently during what appears to be a great dream: **4\. Baby pandas** They sleep peacefully even though one rogue cub keeps crawling all over them: **5\. A baby sloth** This impossibly cute little guy goes for a big ol’ yawn before nodding off into dream-land: **6\. A red panda** He’s clearly had a tough day and could really use some shut-eye if you’d be kind enough to leave him alone: **7\. A kitten** He’s so talented he can sleep and purr all at the same time: **8\. An owl** His name is Claude and he enjoys a nice massage before saying _bonne nuit_ and drifting off: **9\. A pig** This guy knows the only reason you should ever wake up is so you can eat a delicious cookie: **10\. A corgi** Everyone knows that being this cute is simply exhausting, so this corgi should enjoy an extremely well-deserved nap beneath a cozy blanket: Happy World Sleep Day to us all. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3744486/world-sleep-day-animals-sleeping/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3744486/world-sleep-day-animals-sleeping/"},"headline":"Enjoy These 10 Videos of Cute Animals Snoozing in Honor of World Sleep Day","datePublished":"2015-03-13T20:45:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:17:40.990Z","description":"From a very sleepy pug to a tuckered out red panda, these animals recognize the importance of some quality shut-eye","url":"https://time.com/3744486/world-sleep-day-animals-sleeping/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7cec41c28cc4e77f/6987838c524fc09a99dece49/96588795.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7cec41c28cc4e77f/6987838c524fc09a99dece49/96588795.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"sleeping puppy","caption":"96588795","creditText":"Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3744486/world-sleep-day-animals-sleeping/","name":"Enjoy These 10 Videos of Cute Animals Snoozing in Honor of World Sleep Day"}}]}] ```
