Looks like someone isn\u2019t a morning person. Video of a bear waking up after hibernating all winter is so adorable. The little guy looks like he had the best night\u2019s sleep. His slightly disheveled appearance is all of us right after waking up from the best nap. It looks like the bear might need a comb!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In all fairness, wouldn\u2019t you look a little rough after sleeping for five months straight? The bear had every right to looking a little messy, he\u2019d just woken up after all.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I don\u2019t know about you, but I could stand a little hibernation myself. Just imagine sleeping for five whole months! I can\u2019t even imagine stopping for a nap, let alone almost a half a year. This is why bears are truly so special. Their ability to sleep that long makes them unique. It also gives them one hell of a bed head, which is the situation that the bear found himself in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Related: Nearly-Blind 40-Year-Old Bear Has Most Tender Reaction to Being Played Music<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Awwww, he looks so sleepy. Maybe he should go back and hibernate for another five minutes? He needs his beauty rest. The clip also showed the bear before hibernation when he was much bigger. Bears store up their fat in the summer so that they can hibernate all winter long. Now it looks like he needs to go get a snack.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The bear is such a cutie.

Who wouldn\u2019t want to spend all winter in bed?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">For bears, it\u2019s a survival strategy. They eat during the warm summer months when there\u2019s plenty of food around and then live off their fat stores in the winter when there is less available food around. It also helps them stay warm in the winter.
