Lion Cubs may sleep as few as at twelve hours but as many as twenty hours. When they are first born, lion cubs spend much of their time eating and sleeping. Their naps are broken up mainly by the need to fill their bellies. As lion cubs get older, they become more energetic and begin splitting up their sleep with eating and playing. Eventually they develop the same sleeping habits as their adult pride members.
