The National Pet Owners Survey was conducted in 2017-2018 by the American Pet Products Association. The survey found that 68% of American households (85 million families) have pets. These lovely creatures often become the dearest members of our family; when bedtime strikes, they prefer to sleep with us, in our beds, rather than sleeping on their own. However, there are certain pros and cons of sleeping with pets, which we have discussed below. It is easy to understand why pet owners like to bring their friends from the animal kingdom into the bed. Even if you’re sleeping alone, or with a partner, the added comfort of having another living soul with you while you sleep is very calming for most people.
Sleeping with your furry (or not furry) friend can have advantages for both you and your pet. A recent study from Mayo Clinic has shown that 41% of people who share their bed with pets found it beneficial, particularly if these people were patients of one disease or another. Pet owners feel a heightened sense of security when they sleep with their pets, who also make it easier for them to relax, for instance-
Just as sleeping with another human being can disturb your sleeping pattern, sleeping with a pet might also do the same. According to a survey, many people were more disturbed throughout the night when sleeping with their pets than without. Sleeping with pets might –
Other than the concerns of hygiene and dominance, there are a couple of more reasons which might make you reconsider sleeping with your pet. For instance, your pet might take too much space in the bed if it’s large enough or end up restless in the night waking you up in the middle of your sleep. Dogs are even known to snore at night, creating a noisy disturbance while you sleep and might even smell bad, causing you to feel uncomfortable. However, after you have weighed the pros and cons of sleeping with pets, and you still decide that you would like your four-legged friend in bed with you, consider the following tips-
A large number of people around the world like to sleep with their cats. As a matter of fact, two-thirds of total cat owners prefer to invite their feline buddies into bed with them. Cats are easy to cuddle, cozy, and very soft. Although there are pros and cons involved, the purring of cats is also known to have the same relaxing effects as a white noise machine. If you want your cat to sleep with you in bed and thus deepen its bond with you, then you might want to consider the tips given below:
As per medical research, sleeping with cats can offer a sense of security and help you relax in bed. Almost 56% of people who own pets allow these animals into their bed to sleep with them. This is mostly done to get an extra sense of comfort and warmth. If you’re not allergic to your cat, and if she is not sick, there is no particular harm in allowing her to sleep with you.
Sleeping with your pets can be unhealthy, as per studies. Cats and their kittens might look cute and clean; however, they might spread diseases if you allow them into your bed. Although a large number of people prefer to let their dogs into bed with them, health professionals say this could be unhealthy in the long run, especially for older people.
Many pets like to sleep with their owners at night because they feel unsafe at this time of the day. Since these animals could have been hunted if they were out in the wild, they still carry a sense of vulnerability inside homes. However, cats might not like to sleep with you at night because they sleep irregularly and want to move around at night.
