Will you have to change your bedtime routine with your pooch? Find out below!

Does your pet interrupt your sleep or help you sleep better?

Researchers from Mayo Clinic recently surveyed 150 of the patients who visited their Arizona Center for Sleep Medicine.

While 20 percent reported that their pet disrupted their sleep, 41 percent said that having their pets in bed helps them sleep better. Participants were asked questions about their sleeping habits, their pets’ behavior and where the pets slept and how their pets affected their nightly sleep.

They said their pets helped them relax and provided a sense of security and companionship. This was especially the case with single sleepers.

It's not a conclusive study to be sure, but it does indicate that our pets provide more than just heat when we're going to sleep!

WOW! Who knew that sleeping with your best furry pal could actually help you sleep better?! That's such great news! Now you won't have to worry about getting Fido his own bed! LOL!
