What is a cripple?

The word “sleeping” is a word used in Japanese, and mainly refers to the feeling of pain and discomfort when the neck and shoulders move in an unnatural direction while sleeping. In English, it is sometimes expressed as "sleeping wrong" or "sleeping in a wrong position".
The cause of sleeping incorrectly is thought to be that a part of the body remains in the same position for a long time while sleeping, or that the sleeping position is not natural for the body. Keeping your neck and shoulders in the same position for long periods of time can put stress on your muscles and joints, causing pain and discomfort.
When you have trouble sleeping, you may be able to relieve the symptoms by warming your neck and shoulders, lightly massaging them, or doing moderate stretching. However, if the pain is severe or lasts for a long time, it is important to consult a doctor. Although clumsiness is often a temporary problem, it can also be a sign of more serious symptoms in some cases, so it's important to keep an eye on it.

Are you also an animal?
ChatGPT
The expression "crooked sleep" generally refers to a state in which a part of the human body (mainly the neck and shoulders) moves to an unnatural position while sleeping, causing pain and discomfort. It is possible that similar phenomena can be seen in animals, but as to whether the specific term "mis-sleeping" is commonly used for animals, to the extent of my knowledge, I cannot confirm whether there are any specific cases.
Even in the case of animals, the body can be burdened depending on the posture and the place where they sleep. For example, if an animal sleeps in the same position for long periods of time, or sleeps on a hard surface or uncomfortable conditions, the body can be stressed. However, in the case of animals, it is difficult to subjectively express pain and discomfort in the same way as humans, so careful observation is required.
When it comes to animal health, it is important to consult the animal's veterinarian or animal expert. It is especially important to provide early and appropriate care if the animal shows pain or discomfort.

how's the puppy?
ChatGPT
Puppies, like humans, can have trouble sleeping. Puppies, especially growing puppies, may play actively and sleep in the same position for long periods of time. These activities can strain muscles and joints.
If your puppy sleeps on its own, it may show symptoms such as:
Limited movement of the neck and shoulders.
Difficulty tilting the head or moving the head.
Feel pain and cry or walk unsteadily.
Puppies have a difficult time expressing pain, so owners need to be very careful. If your puppy exhibits any of the above symptoms, please consult your veterinarian for proper treatment and care.
Puppies are in their growing stages and need the right environment and care. Proper rest and exercise can help prevent sleep disturbances and other ailments. It's a good idea to follow your veterinarian's advice and help them grow and thrive.

My Norfolk Terrier puppy's neck is pointing in a strange direction when he is sleeping, is that okay?
ChatGPT
Occasionally, depending on the breed, Norfolk Terrier puppies have their necks turned in the wrong direction when they are sleeping. In general, puppies are active and growing, so they will adopt a variety of positions while sleeping. This is due to growth and muscle development, and sometimes the neck and body position may temporarily change in a strange direction.
While puppies that sleep on their own aren't generally a big problem, there are a few things to keep in mind:
See if your neck is just temporarily in the wrong position and doesn't stay that way for a long time. If your dog's neck seems to be at an odd angle all the time, consult your veterinarian.
If your puppy is crying uncomfortably or is acting in ways that indicate pain, consider seeing a veterinarian as soon as possible.
Regular check-ups are recommended to ensure the puppy's neck and body health.
Norfolk Terrier puppies are small dogs and very cute, but they need extra attention as they are still growing. Temporary changes in posture are usually fine as long as your dog seems comfortable, but if you have any concerns, talk to a specialist veterinarian as soon as possible.
