Do you constantly feel lazy and sleepy? Do not worry, there are seven animals that are lazy and sleepy than you.

Sloths: are characterised by their slow, unhurried movements and long sleep sessions, lasting up to fifteen hours each day on average. They require prolonged rest because of their low metabolic rate.

Armadillos: Being primarily nocturnal creatures, armadillos spend most of their time sleeping during the day and becoming more active at night. It is estimated that they slumber for roughly sixteen hours every day.

Koalas: are known for sleeping up to 22 hours a day. Their diet of eucalyptus leaves causes them to have low energy, so sleeping helps them store it.

Brown bats: these are nocturnal animals that sleep for a large part of the day. Brown bats, for example, can sleep for roughly 19.9 hours every day.

Opossums: are marsupials with a daily sleep duration of about eighteen hours. Generally speaking, they are busier at night.

Pythons: are snakes that are well-known for their protracted dormancy. They have a maximum sleep duration of eighteen hours per day, especially after a substantial meal.

The common cuckoo bird: is noted for its lazy, sedentary lifestyle. It can sleep for up to 12 hours a day or longer, which is a considerable amount of time.
