Sleeping With Your Dog In The Bedroom - What Researchers Have Discovered

Next time you want a good nights sleep, get a dog. According to a new study by the Mayo Clinic, people who had their dogs sleep in their bedroom, either in their bed or on the ground, slept way better than those that didn't. It also didn't matter how big the dog was or how much it moved during the night. The researchers say, "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." One of the main reasons is, "Today, many pet owners are away from their pets for much of the day, so they want to maximize their time with them when they are home."
