Allowing Your Dog To Sleep With You Is Actually Good For You

September 12, 2017

306SHARES

 

A recent study by Mayo Clinic suggests that allowing your dog to sleep next to you in bed helps you get a better quality of sleep.

sleeping with dog better night sleep

 

The study examined 40 adults with their pups for seven nights. Both the humans and their canine counterparts wore motion-tracking devices to determine the quality of sleep.

On average, people with dogs in their rooms (but not on their beds) maintained 83% sleep efficiency while people with dogs in their beds maintained 80% sleep efficiency.

Since the new study was relatively small, the researchers weren't able to determine whether the breed or size of the dog made any difference.

And if you're wondering how your dog feels about co-sleeping, there's no need to worry.

Makes sense to me. Nothing like skin ship (fur ship?) to encourage happiness.

My small dog takes up 75% of my King Sized bed and wakes me up in the morning my standing over me. It is annoying and cute at the same time.

When i was a kid, my dachsund Heidi used to sleep with me. I find it very comforting. Now my doodle sleeps with us. She's a pretty sound sleeper so DH doesn't seem to mind.

I like to have a dog sleeping at the foot of the bed.

Andrea, our picapoo, would sleep under my bed. She didn't want on the bed.

Pebbles and Bam Bam, my toy poodles, slept with me, one on either side, but if I got up during the night, they'd get on my pillow. They also slept on their backs, so cute.

Monster sleeps everywhere. My bed, under my bed, with each kid, but lately he sleeps on the back of the couch.

DH would never allow our dog to sleep with us.

Sam did sleep with HDD when she lived with us.

Sam has his bed in the kitchen now. He alerts us at night and we are glad.

I feel really good Trudy. I can start regular food Wednesday. I have a lobster tail with my name in it in the freezer. I may only eat 1/4 of it at a time but yummy

 

if you include the 9 lbs I lost the week prior to surgery I've lost 31 so far.  

How are you doing???)

This is funny. I remember reading an article a couple months ago how sleeping with your dog is bad for you.
