Hi, I’m doctor Bruce Dan, do you feel like sometimes you don’t get a good night’s sleep, well
there can be a lot of reasons for that, but for some people the culprit is their bed mate, I’m talking
about the furry kind. Researchers talked to 300 people who complain about poor sleep, they
found that almost 60 percent were sharing their bedroom with a pet. About 1 in 5 slept with Fido
or Felix in the bed. Many of the pet owners said their sleep is disturbed every night. Pets can
contribute to the problem in all kinds of ways, including moving around, need to go out in the
middle of the night, like some human bed partners, snoring. Despite this, the researchers found
that many people would rather live with the disturbance than banish their four legged friends
from the bedroom. If you love pets, it’s easy to understand why, they can be great companions
and study show, even good for you health, not if they leave you feeling dog tired. Making
rounds, I’m doctor Bruce Dan.
