Cats sleep an average of fifteen hours a day & some can sleep up to twenty hours in a twenty-four hour period.

most active between dusk and dawn, which means that they sleep mostly during the day and become active around twilight. Cats have the physiology of a predator, meaning that they’re hardwired to give chase and hunt ... mainly at night.

Cats prefer to sleep with "cover".

According to animal behaviour experts, most cats prefer to sleep & generally hang out in places with good vantage points. ... this is why many cats choose to sleep in cardboard or cupboards boxes that are enclosed as this means that they only have one point of entry to keep a sleepy eye on, reducing their vulnerability. It's also why they adore the ambient lounge® hoodie bed.

Big cats such as lions & tigers have a pattern of sleeping during the day and hunting at night.

Although housecats have been domesticated for the most part, they still retain that wild instinct. Even cats at play will display the feline primal streak of creeping about in the shadows and, without a whisper of warning, pouncing on an object like it is prey. This includes their ambient lounge® bed and the ball we have dangling from the hood roof.

Like humans, cats either doze in a light sleep or sleep very deeply.

When your cat dozes (which lasts about 15-45 minutes), they position the body so they can spring into action at a moment’s notice. During deep sleep, cats experience rapid brain movement. Deep sleep tends to last only about five minutes, after which the cat goes back to dozing - the quality of which is very important to the wellbeing of your cat and is dependent on the environment. This dozing-deep sleep pattern goes on until the cat wakes up. Kittens and older cats tend to sleep more than the average-aged adult cat.
