Piggie Fun Fact #2: How many hours of sleep does a guinea pig get?

     A guinea pig gets an average of 4 hours of sleep per day (24 hours), which is 1/6 of the day spent sleeping. It may not seem like your guinea pig sleeps 4 hours, because it is not a constant 4 hour sleep. Your guinea pig sleeps in intervals of 15 minutes-30 minutes, which in the end adds up to about 4 hours each day.

    The average adult human sleeps for 8 hours, while kids sleep from 10-12 hours every night. Out of 24 hours, 1/3 of the day is spent sleeping foe adult humans and for kids, 1/2 or more. Humans sleep at a constant rate, and mostly only at nights (unless you count naps).
