Along with the growth of the age, the dog to sleep time will also increase gradually. Not only the body needs to maintain, the brain needs recuperate, so more dogs to sleep is the key factor. Long However, simply long sleep also is not necessarily good, like humans, fast response to stress and due to such caused sleep not smooth, also can affect the quality of the dog to sleep. So, how is ability has “quality sleep?” Besides comfortable and easy and comfortable morpheus environment, also must have a good sleep habits to dogs, healthy body, let us explore the method can sleep.
How to sleep was sleeping
Dogs and humans and other senior mammals, besides can sleep body rest outside, also can make the brain and rest, automatic memory consolidation effect. And the rest of the brain can make deep sleep is “sleep”, and out-of-phase can let the body break “sleep” relative out-of-phase. “Sleep” refers to the person out-of-phase body already asleep but also in the eyes of sleep. When the dog to the guardian and environment around the safety feeling, the safety instruction signal will be transported to the brain, let the dog dog gradually entered the sleeping namely “sleep”, thus out-of-phase brain get enough rest.
The sleeping dog
Dogs for 45 minutes of sleep frequency, half of the human. The body and brain in “out-of-phase sleep” and “sleep” state out-of-phase repeatedly, and the state of play fast asleep, the sleep state about 80%. Namely: 1.the dazely sleep, 2 the mild to sleep, Into a deep sleep; 3. 4 the deep sleep, is classified as 1-4, fatigue and stress response of elimination, enhance immunity and consolidation effect of damaged tissue, 5 then the body to get up.
Because human life together with the dog and master, mode of life, so also the same in sleep. But because the dog to sleep than humans, frequency in the process of sleep time is more also repeatedly, it is master midnight say talk in a dream, call his dog dog will soon have reaction, and then continues his sleep.
But if the owner’s life is ZhouFuYeChu, dog is also will sleep habits and reversed, but this will be fundamentally disrupt the body clock, the dog dog to health, this kind of host should consider changing their lives.
Good sleep and bad sleep
Because of the brain stimulation is moderate, so out-of-phase actiation of sleep sleep is sleeping out-of-phase + key, if long sleep time excessive, listless and growth, accordingly, be in the physical fatigue.
Study of memory that out-of-phase sleep has a special relationship, which will lead to sleep if not memory disorders. For example, the dog walking with other dogs argument, then it will be in the memory of fighting terrorism, was usually produces “later any further not near the place” or “terrible” category subconscious, this is a kind of natural behavior. Good sleep can alleviate dogs so the anxiety, although not able to change the subconscious, but the dog can make peace.
Stress response is sleeping enemy, it can directly interfered with the body and brain fatigue. And cold, heart disease, diabetes and gastric diseases, which often causes for the dog stress reaction. If this situation continues, sleep dog will produce behavior problems, such as: suddenly to counterattack, and other dogs fight, not obedient, etc.
The old dog to sleep
Now we know that “sleeping” is not lack of the best method of eliminating fatigue, but older dogs is: with the lower body and functions, natural sleep time will increase, but most are fragments of sleep, i.e., basically can guarantee quality of sleep quality.
If you can’t sleep, nature is not very good finishing damage nerve tissue, also not good as normal physiological activity metabolism, can secrete hormones activation winging body function, and with impatience and stress reaction, such as physical factors unfavorable. In addition, the old dog often metabolic disorders, low temperature, so be sure to give the surrounding environment.
Comfortable sleep
Let the dog dog frequent accept instruction signal, make its emotional state of activities, such as eating in a drink or sit down when such simple instructions, can make the dog’s thinking to accept instruction and activate the brain signals, thus improving the quality of sleep. However, this method for some older dogs are not effective, so old dog can also through the moderate exercise, make their brains accept more external stimuli, and finally reach the goal can be sleeping.
In addition, a suitable location is very important to sleep, can let the dog the be fond of according to oneself, also can choose to arrange a quiet, no it safe places and excitant odour, such as bed or cage, etc. Also, if the dog low temperature also cannot sleeping, touch it, if feel cool on tiptoe, can use towels to maintain its temperature and adjust indoor temperature, keep in 18-20 degrees is the best.
