10 Grossest Things You Never Knew About Sleeping

8. You Shed A Miniature Dachshund's Weight In Skin Cells Every 8 Years

Dachshund Dog
Wiki

Dogs, just like bed, are brilliant creations. Some of the best dogs look utterly ridiculous, like the miniature dachshund for example. With the average weight of 4.84kg and an alarming lack of self-awareness which leads them to believe they are 10ft tall, a dachshund also has something else in common with sleep.

Within 8 little years, you shed the weight of the tiny dog in your sleep. That's 4.84kg of skin cells just flying off your body and onto the sheets/pillow/mattress. The next time you're eating in bed and drop a piece, think twice before picking it back up again, because you may just be chowing down on some of your own skin cells.

Look on the bright side, at least sausage dogs look funny. Look at his stumpy little legs.
