How Much Do Hamsters Love Sleeping?! 😴

Ever wondered why your hamster seems to be sleeping all the time? 🤔
Well, research shows that hamsters sleep up to 14 hours and 25 minutes a day! 😲
But here’s the catch—each nap only lasts about 11 minutes and 24 seconds! ⏳
🐹 Why Do Hamsters Sleep So Much?
⚠️ Super alert & light sleepers!
Hamsters are always on guard, so they never fall into deep sleep for long.
Instead, they take short naps to stay aware of their surroundings. 👀✨
🌙 Nocturnal creatures
Hamsters are active at night and sleep during the day.
Waking them up during the day might get you bitten! 😡🦷
💤 Fragmented sleep patterns
Unlike humans, hamsters don’t sleep in one long session.
They take many short naps throughout the day and night!
🐹 How to Improve Your Hamster’s Sleep?
✔ 1. Avoid disturbing them → Keep noise levels low during the day.
✔ 2. Keep their cage in a dark, quiet spot → No direct sunlight!
✔ 3. Play at the right time → Observe their active hours and interact at night!
🐹 Hamster’s Perspective:
“You humans sleep at night, we sleep during the day. Respect our schedule!” 😤
