If you had a ruff night sleep, your dog might be to blame.
the journal Human-Animal Interactions has shown that people with dogs are more likely to suffer from a sleep disorder. Cat ownership was also associated with sleep issues, but not to the extent that dog owners experience.
“On the one hand, dogs and cats may be beneficial for an owner’s quality of sleep due to the social support that pets provide,” said Dr. Lauren Wisnieski, who led the study,. “Pets offer a sense of security and companionship, which may result in improvements in levels of anxiety, stress and depression. Yet, on the other hand, pets may disrupt their owners’ sleep.”
The scientists from Lincoln Memorial University took a variety of poor sleep factors into consideration.Scientists from Lincoln Memorial University focused on pet ownership in the United States, looking at data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2005-2006.
The differences in sleep quality were more extreme between dog owners and non-dog owners compared to cat owners and non-cat owners, possibly due to cats being more active at night, researchers hypothesized.
