Lead researcher Christy Hoffman, Ph.D., an animal behaviorist, discovered several reasons why dogs make excellent bed companions. One of the main factors is that dogs’ sleeping patterns closely resemble those of humans, unlike cats.
Dogs have a remarkable ability to adapt to their owners’ sleep schedules, making them more accommodating compared to human partners. Many human partners have different sleep schedules, which can disrupt sleep. On the other hand, dogs readily adjust to their owners’ routines, potentially enhancing sleep quality.
Additionally, dogs thrive on routine, such as regular morning walks, which helps their owners maintain consistent sleep patterns leading to better quality sleep.
