Age is a major factor in how much a dog sleeps. Just as it is with people, a dog's sleeping patterns change throughout his life cycle, with more or less sleep needed at different stages of life. Healthy adult dogs in their prime of life generally average about 14 hours of sleep each day. Young puppies generally need 18 to 20 hours, while aging dogs also tend to sleep longer the older they get. Dogs who have a lot to do generally sleep less.
