According to a scientific study, women have more benefits when sleeping with a dog than with a man.
At first glance, the analysis can make you smile, but it is very serious! Women would sleep better with their dogs than in the presence of a human being.
This is at least what emerges from a study on the interactions between humans and animals, published last November in the United States.
Conducted jointly by Christy L. Hoffman, Kaylee Stutz and Terrie Vasilopoulos at Canisios College in Buffalo, this research highlighted the beneficial effects of a night with your pet.
To reach these conclusions, the researchers conducted a survey of 962 American women to determine the relationship that may exist between nocturnal living with an animal and the quality of sleep.
Among this selected panel, 55% of the participants shared their bed with at least one dog and 31% with at least one cat.
And the results are amazing because they show that sleeping is much better when you sleep with your pet.
How to explain?
According to the researchers, the presence of dogs and cats by our side during the night, but also the place where these adorable hairballs sleep, can influence the habits and the quality of sleep.
For example, dog owners usually go to bed earlier than those who do not. A very healthy routine that facilitates sleep.
On the other hand, researchers have observed that dogs that sleep in bed are less perceived by them as a factor that can disturb their night.
In addition, the presence of an animal reassures the masters by giving them “stronger feelings of comfort and safety”, which act positively on the quality of sleep.
On the other hand, unlike the dog company, the study also shows that sleeping with a cat can be as annoying as with a human being. The unpredictable and independent nature of the cats may be the cause.
In summary, sleeping with a dog would be less disturbing than with a human being. From there to say, ladies, that you must expel your companions from the bed and share it with your dog.
