It's true, being a parent can be utterly exhausting, but those early sleepless nights lead to excellent snuggles and naps during the days. And nobody does a midday snooze with baby sweeter than brand new dads.

To celebrate Father's Day, we asked for your most adorable photos of dads napping with their little ones -- and we want you to keep them coming! Click through to see the cuteness, then add your own (using the tools below or by sending an email to parents@huffingtonpost.com) and on Sunday, give the dad in your life some well-deserved REST.
