Dogs are adorable and there’s nothing like a good cuddle. Studies in various parts of the world suggest that about half of dog lovers sleep with their pets. Smaller dogs are more likely to sleep with their owners, and people without kids are also more likely to invite their pet into bed.

Dogs sleep off and on during the day but humans tend to sleep in one go at night. Therefore, researchers expect pet owners to be disturbed by dogs waking up and going back to sleep again in the middle of the night.
