Even the Energizer Bunny needs to take a nap sometime. You might not see it in the TV commercials, but if that bunny finally settled down for sleep, it would probably rest like dogs that take on the Superman position. This position has the dog lying flat on its stomach with its limbs sprawled out in all directions.

Dogs that sleep like this usually are bursting with energy. This sleep position means they have finally crashed and need to recuperate. Sleeping in the Superman position enables the dog to pop right back up and enjoy playtime again when it awakes.

You’ll see this sleeping position more often for puppies and young, energetic pups.

Dogs that sleep the next way have a lot to tell you about who they are.
