We’ve all felt the benefits of having a pet, including both Wicker and Wilde, but there’s a big one parents need to know about. If your kids have a difficult time sleeping, let their pet curl up in the bed with them. It turns out kids get better quality of sleep that way.
Researchers at Concordia University in Montreal took a look at the sleep habits of children and discovered that if they regularly slept with a cat, dog, or bunny, the difference in sleep was noticeably better.
The key, according to the study, is the pets curling up in bed seem to ease the fears of the children. If you’re wonder if adults can get in on that action, the answer is no. The sleep quality didn’t change, although everyone who co-sleeps with pets finds it calming and stress reducing. I (Rebecca Wilde) will for sure agree with that. I can't sleep without at least one of the fur babies being in bed with me. Researcher note that if you or your child has pet allergies, this may not work for you.
