If your dog sleeps in your bed, good news: they may not be the sleep thief you thought they were! A new study tracked 25 people and 38 dogs over four weeks and found that sharing a bed with your furry friend didn’t significantly affect sleep quality or how long people slept. In fact, researchers discovered that humans were often the ones waking up and disturbing their dogs, not the other way around.
