US EditionShould you let pets sleep next to you? (Does it even matter what the experts say?)
- A 2000-person study found that 66% of pet owners allow pets to sleep in their bed, showing widespread co-sleeping habits.
- This behavior arises partly because many pet owners emotionally treat pets like family and assign them bedtimes, creating bonded sleep routines.
- Experts including Melissa Milanak and Brian Chin report that while many pets disrupt sleep, some owners like Angela Wilson experience fewer disturbances with pets sleeping separately.
- Research links sleeping with pets to poorer sleep quality and more insomnia symptoms, yet 42% of owners feel safer and 44% report better sleep quality with pets nearby.
- These findings suggest that pet co-sleeping impacts sleep differently among individuals, making broad recommendations to avoid sharing beds complex.
