A new study, however, warns snuggling up with your pups in the same bed may comprise on your sleep quality. The sleep benefit extends only to having dogs in your bedroom — not in your bed, as adults who snuggled up to their pups in bed sacrificed quality sleep. Lead author Lois Krahn from Mayo Clinic’s Arizona campus said that most people assume having pets in the bedroom is a disruption. “We found that many people actually find comfort and a sense of security from sleeping with their pets,” Krahn added. The study evaluated the sleep of 40 healthy adults without sleep disorders and their dogs over five months.
