In Deep Creek Lake, Md., a homeowner found a black bear (weighing in at over three hundred pounds) and her babies, nesting beneath their porch in a surprising location for their seasonal hibernation.

The mama bear and her kin were taken to a "substitute den" (who knew?) in a nearby forest, and -- as you'll see in the video below -- they're doing just fine, with one of the little ones obviously looking forward to getting back to sleep.

Attention Ambien and Lunesta users: Envisioning fictional "counting sheep" may come in handy when you're trying to catch your Zzzs, but one trip to the Faroe Islands in the northeastern region of the Atlantic Ocean will likely put the old standby solution to the test.

That's because locals have taken to herding the sheep in mid-air, suspending them above the rough and often inaccessible terrain that makes it difficult for both shepherds to do their dirty work. Allegedly, the trouble is very much worth it, as the meat on the acrobatic woolly wonders is "better than any other in world."

So if the moment strikes when all you want to do is catch some shuteye but it just won't come, we know the perfect spot where you can literally lay back and count the sheep overhead, flying through the air... on a zip-line.

Bizkit the dog set the Internet on fire when he was captured running in his sleep before dopily catapulting himself headfirst into the wall, the adorable oaf.

But let's get real: there are plenty of other equally deserving pooches deep inside the YouTube pipes whose candid moments of going the distance -- albeit in dreamland -- are just as precious, silly, and worth a hearty laugh.

Here are some of our favorite videos featuring dogs running while asleep (puppies included!).
