Why do dogs act so weird before bedtime?
A guy shared a funny observation about his dog's pre-sleep habit that a lot of pet owners recognize in their own pets. I'm wondering what's actually behind this behavior and whether it's normal?

It's completely normal - dogs often spin around, scratch at the floor or bed before sleep, like they're trying to "set up" the space. It's an ancient instinct at work: their ancestors would trample down grass and leaves to make their bed more comfortable and safer. Plus, before resting they lower their activity level and might act restlessly, kind of "switching" into sleep mode - sort of like how people stretch and toss around looking for a comfy position.
