The nap struggle is real.

A baby possum named Plum just wanted to get a little shut eye by crawling into mom's pouch for a while. But that task is clearly a lot harder than it looks.

According to the Australia and Allsorts Facebook page, Plum and his mom moved into the Facebook page manager's own backyard due to "lack of adequate tree hollows." The page regularly updates followers on the pair of possums.
