Some dogs get sleepy. This Shih-Tzu<\/strong>? This man is battling something. His eyes are barely open, his little mouth is doing that half-awake \u201cI am not OK\u201d thing, and his entire face looks like he just remembered something embarrassing from 2007 and cannot recover.<\/p>\n Just check this out, and get ready to crack up over this little dog’s so-over-it-and-ready-for-a-nap face.<\/p>\n The now-viral video was uploaded to the @sarrahnewin<\/a> TikTok account, and the second you see him, you understand why people cannot stop watching. He is not just tired. He is spiritually offline. Like if you asked him a question, he would simply blink once and power down.<\/p>\n Related: Shih-Tzu Screaming To Be Lifted Onto the Bed Sounds Exactly Like a Furious Child<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The comments immediately turned it into a full personality.<\/p>\n \u201cHow I look when I\u2019m congested,\u201d one person wrote, and honestly, that is exactly the face. Just fully blocked, no thoughts getting through.<\/p>\n \u201cMe, when someone talks to me in the morning,\u201d which feels a little too real. No eye contact. No conversation. Just survival.<\/p>\n \u201cGet that baby to sleep!\u201d someone begged, and yes. Please.

That tracks.<\/p>\n \u201cMe waking up at 7 p.m. after saying I was taking a 2-hour nap at 2 p.m.,\u201d and suddenly this dog is all of us.<\/p>\n And then, \u201cWhen my husband tells me to watch his golf video,\u201d which might be the most specific and accurate one of all.<\/p>\n I keep staring at his face because it somehow gets worse the longer I look. The eyes drifting. The tiny mouth. The general vibe of \u201cPlease stop judging me.\u201d If I looked like this, I would simply cancel the day and crawl back into bed. For a week.<\/p>\n Adult dogs typically need around 12 to 14 hours of sleep a day<\/a>, though it can vary depending on their age, breed, and activity level. Smaller breeds like Shih-Tzus<\/a> can sometimes sleep even more, especially if they are living a very demanding life of\u2026 being carried around and judging everyone.<\/p>\n Pups don’t sleep in one long stretch like humans. Instead, they nap throughout the day<\/a>, which is why you will often see them fully passed out one minute and ready to go the next.<\/p>\n If a dog looks especially exhausted, like this little guy, it could just mean he had a busy day, did a lot of playing, or is simply in a deep rest cycle. Puppies and senior dogs tend to sleep even more as their bodies grow or slow down.<\/p>\n As long as your furbaby is eating well, active when awake, and not showing signs of illness, a lot of sleep is usually completely normal.<\/p>\n That said, if your dog ever looks like they are actively fighting to stay conscious like this\u2026 maybe just let them nap.
