A dog owner from Arkansas shared a video of their bloodhound’s unusual bedtime routine, and internet users still cannot understand the reason for this behavior.
In a viral TikTok video shared in September by @sadiethebloodhound, the pup, Sadie, can be seen making circles on the bed, twisting and rolling, as she tries to find the best position to lie down for the night.
“How she gets comfy for bed,” reads a caption shared with the hilarious video. Internet users were left a bit confused by the pup’s unconventional way to find the perfect position, struggling to understand the process. Newsweek reached out to @sadiethebloodhound for comment via email. We could not verify the details of the case.
One user, Meowijuana mama, posted: “I want her to explain the process step by step.”

If you own a dog, you have probably seen them sleeping in very different positions, some appearing more comfortable than others. But what is the meaning behind each of their chosen sleeping positions?
In an article by Journeys Mobile Veterinary Services, Dr. Candy Akers says that a dog’s sleeping style can offer fascinating insights into their emotions, health, and personality, and can help us ensure they are comfortable and healthy.
When a dog sleeps with their belly up, it probably means they are feeling secure and safe enough to show off their precious bellies. On the other hand, when they are curled up in a ball, they might be trying to protect their vulnerable areas.
The amount of sleep hours a dog needs every day depend on factors such as their age, breed, size, and activity level. However, on average, adult dogs need about 12 to 14 hours of sleep, while puppies and senior dogs may sleep up to 18 to 20 hours.

If you were wondering whether or not dogs have the ability to dream, the answer is yes. British animal charity Blue Cross says that, even though we do not know for sure what is in their dreams, studies suggests it probably has to do with what they did during the day.
Signs that your pup is in their REM phase of sleep include paw twitching, change in breathing, eye flickering, whimpering, barking, body twitching, and tail swishing.
The video quickly went viral on social media and has so far received almost 3 million views and more than 116,000 likes on the platform.
One user, Cinder, posted: “She looked exhausted after her dramatic display!!! The flip!!”
Just a little bawn added: “Mine has to smush herself into everything, I call it the smushies.”
