It s also said that sleeping with your dog boosts and helps mental health

And it may reduce stress-related factors such as epinephrine and norepinephrine, lower aggression, enhance empathy, and improve trustworthiness and trust in others.

Sleeping with your pupper may also help you if you have insomnia

Sleeping with your dog is good for them too

Image credits: pexels Most dogs love to snuggle and sleep next to their owners. It's warmer, comfier and they feel like they're part of the pack! Image credits: rukasthedog Image credits: pexels Keep in mind that sleeping with your dog can cause allergies or make them more severe if you already have them. Also, it may be a way to spread disease if your pup likes to eat things off the ground or doesn't like to get washed often. You may also rethink it if your dog is very big and active.

Two of my pups passed now I have two. We even got a bigger bed so we had enough room lol. It's the best when it's chilly and I love the little snores it's just like purring relaxes me right away. 4 4points reply Fiona Parky Fiona Parky Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Yea, no one saying your dog sharing your bed is relaxing has ever had to share one with Sookie! She snores. She’s able to turn into some sort of non Newtonian liquid that fills all available space. She complains loudly if you dare to try and move. She randomly wakes you up by sneezing in your face. Finally, there’s the farts. Sookie’s farts are technically illegal under the Geneva Convention. I’m sure they count as chemical warfare. We still put up with all of this for one reason. She’s so flaming cute when she’s asleep. 21 21points reply Holly Allen Holly Allen Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Sookie sounds awesome!! 3 3points reply Load More Replies...

This kind of research can help people with certain issues, such as someone with anxiety or a child with autism.
