When love fails, Koalas just give up and go off to sleep

Rejection stings, even in the wild. But koalas? They’ve got their own way of coping. They just hit the snooze button and leave the future of their generation for another day’s to-do list. 

Did you know that koalas can sleep almost the whole day and even after a painful heartbreak?

Koalas who are renowned for their adorable behaviours and of course laziness, does something hilarious during the mating season. Male koalas do try to attract females. Through their deep, loud vocalizations and mark their musky scent on the trunks of the tree, they try getting the females’ attention. But the unimpressed females ignore them, and the males? They just give up and go off to sleep! 

Their main priority often is to save energy for the next task which might also be sleeping but they do not like dwelling over lost love. With a sleep schedule of 18 to 22 hours a day their love takes a backseat indeed. Scientists have reported that this Koala theory is somewhat efficient. If it’s not meant for you, what’s the point of wasting time on it right? Mating takes serious energy, so when the right partner shows up, koalas are all about saving their strength, ready to give their best for them. 

Koalas mainly consume Eucalyptus leaves which are low on energy and in order to gain that energy in their body they compensate with sleep. These leaves when consumed in higher quantities can be toxic for them. Sleeping helps them digest the toxic leaves slowly and detoxify harmful compounds. Now that’s the perfect alibi for that nap addiction, isn’t it?

While sleep might not be the ideal way to heal a broken heart, it certainly can help. It offers a temporary escape, a chance to forget the pain and let go of the unwanted pieces weighing you down. Koalas, with their long, peaceful slumbers, are living proof that when life gives you lemons, you don’t just survive, you make refreshing lemonade out of it. Sometimes, rest is the sweetest remedy.
