Some dogs are light sleepers, always on alert for the slightest sound. Others? They can snooze through thunderstorms, doorbells, and even vacuum cleaners. If you’re looking for a canine companion who’s more interested in napping than reacting to every bump in the night, these breeds are known for their ability to sleep soundly—almost anywhere, anytime.
Bulldog
Bulldogs are famous for their relaxed personalities—and their love of sleep. These dogs are heavy, snorty snoozers who seem unfazed by surrounding chaos. Whether it’s a loud TV or a busy household, Bulldogs will happily snore through it all.
Basset Hound
With their droopy ears and soulful eyes, Basset Hounds might look sad, but they’re actually quite content—especially when sleeping. They have low energy levels and a calm temperament, making them champions of long, deep naps.
Great Dane
Despite their massive size, Great Danes are gentle giants with a surprisingly lazy streak. They enjoy long naps and often ignore noises that would have other dogs on high alert. Their laid-back nature makes them great for quiet households—or even rowdy ones they just sleep through.
Saint Bernard
Saint Bernards were bred to rescue travelers in snowy mountains, but don’t expect them to be active 24/7. These dogs are calm and docile, and they love to lounge. Once they’re asleep, good luck waking them up without a treat in hand.
Chow Chow
Independent and reserved, Chow Chows often prefer to stay in their own space—and sleep in peace. They’re not easily startled by household noise, making them surprisingly sound sleepers for a breed that can be aloof and stubborn when awake.
Newfoundland
Newfoundlands are gentle, loving giants who enjoy both water and naps. Their calm demeanor helps them stay relaxed in noisy environments, and their thick coats make them look even cozier while dozing off.
Shih Tzu
Originally bred as lap dogs for Chinese royalty, Shih Tzus know how to live in luxury—and that includes long, uninterrupted naps. They’re unfazed by most indoor noise and prefer lounging in your lap or curled up in a cozy corner.
Lhasa Apso
Despite being alert watchdogs, Lhasa Apsos also love their beauty sleep. Once they feel secure, they can snooze through nearly anything, especially if they’re used to household sounds and activity. Their compact size allows them to curl up in the coziest spots, where they often drift off into deep, undisturbed slumber.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Cavaliers are affectionate, low-energy dogs who love cuddles and naps in equal measure. They adapt well to their environment and can fall asleep just about anywhere—whether it’s a busy living room or a quiet bedroom.
Mastiff
Mastiffs are massive, mellow, and often unaware of just how big they are. They are not easily disturbed by noise and prefer to spend much of their day resting. Their quiet confidence makes them deep sleepers and excellent lounge buddies.
