Should you let pets sleep next to you? (Does it even matter what the experts say?)
- A 2000-person survey conducted for Seeley found that 66% of pet owners let their pets sleep in their bed.
- This practice stems partly from owners treating pets like family and associating them with sleep routines and comfort.
- Experts including Melissa Milanak and Brian Chin report pets often disrupt sleep, with more pets linked to greater disturbance despite some owners feeling comforted.
- The study showed 47% find it easier to settle at night, 44% wake more rested, but research connects pet co-sleeping to poor sleep quality and insomnia symptoms.
- These findings suggest that pet owners face a complex trade-off between emotional benefits and sleep disruption, complicating straightforward recommendations.
