Dogs usually do not sleep in one long stretch: their sleep is spread across multiple bouts during the day and night. Studies describe dogs as polyphasic sleepers. The exact number of hours varies with age, environment, and measurement method; lying still does not always mean sleeping. VCA Animal Hospitals gives a broad guide of 8–13.5 hours per day, rather than one rule for every dog.
