Dog Won’t Sleep Without Her Silk Mask—And She Makes Sure Everyone Knows It

Bedtime habits aren’t just for people—our furry friends have their own nighttime routines too. One dog, Poppy, has taken her sleep ritual to the next level with a rather fancy requirement: a silk sleeping mask.

And she refuses to settle in until she gets it.

Poppy’s nightly routine is a mix of persistence and a bit of drama. Her owner captured her bedtime antics on video, and it quickly took the internet by storm, racking up more than 971,000 likes.

In the clip, the determined Boxer whimpers and fidgets, clearly unable to unwind. Her owner shares that if the mask isn’t provided quickly enough, Poppy isn’t shy about making a fuss—barking and stomping her paws to get the message across.

Once the silky mask is secured in place, Poppy curls up and drifts off as if she were a pampered human, completely at ease.

It’s not every day you see a dog insist on such a luxurious sleep aid, but for Poppy, it’s the secret to a peaceful night.

The internet can’t get enough of her adorable bedtime habit, with comments pouring in from amused viewers.

One person joked, “Did I just witness a dog throw a tantrum for beauty sleep?”

Another laughed, “That’s not a dog—that’s a human in disguise!” Someone else playfully called out Poppy’s owner, writing, “You didn’t raise a dog, you raised a princess!”

While her preference for a silk mask might seem unusual, pet behavior experts say it’s not entirely surprising. Just like people, dogs develop habits that bring them comfort.

Some won’t sleep without a favorite toy, while others need a warm blanket or a gentle scratch before bed.

Poppy has simply found her own version of bedtime bliss—one that involves a little extra luxury.
