Best Answer

18 - 22 hours a day
Because of their extremely low metabolism, koalas normally sleep for approximately 16 to 22 hours each day, to conserve as much energy as possible. This slow metabolism also means koalas are able retain food in their digestive tract for a long time, allowing them to extract the maximum amount of energy from the food they eat.
