The number of households in the UK with a pet is at an all-time high, leading to more than 5,000 owners turning to Google to ask questions such as ‘should a pet sleep on the bed?’
Barbara states “Sleeping with pets encourages the production and release of more oxytocin. When our oxytocin levels are high, we are more likely to experience total body relaxation.”Sharing a bed with an animal may benefit the immune system even more due to the close proximity together. Barbara says “Pets encourage the diversity of microorganisms in a home and research shows that your immune system strengthens when exposed to a diversity of microorganisms.
Georgia comments: “Pets provide an extra reason to keep the house in order so sleeping with them and washing the linen every few days on a warm cycle will prevent an accumulation of dust.”The benefits of having pets sleep on the bed aren’t just for humans, animals will have a higher trust level. This makes communication and training easier.
Georgia comments: “If you want to be close to pets but worry about sharing a bed, why not treat them to a luxurious bed of their own. There will still be positives from being close, but any concerns around hurting them or feeling like you may be disturbed will go away.”
