These 8 Shocking Effects Will Make You Think Twice About Letting Your Dog Sleep in Bed

Should you let your dog sleep in your bed or not? That’s a question many dog owners ask. For me, it’s cozy having my dog by my side—it helps me relax. I just have to wash my sheets more often!

Dog owners have different opinions on this. Some think it’s not clean, while others believe it’s calming and helps them sleep better.

But now, research shows there are benefits to letting your dog sleep with you.

A study from the Center for Sleep Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona looked at 150 people, and the results were interesting.

Among them, 56 percent said they shared their bed or bedroom with a dog or cat. And of those, 41 percent said their pets helped them sleep better at night, according to the U.K. newspaper, the *Daily Mail*.

The research showed that most people felt more relaxed and secure sleeping with their pets nearby.

Still unsure? Here are eight reasons why research says sleeping with your pet is good for you.

1. **Comforting**
Having your dog close for cuddles can make you feel happier before bed.

2. **Helps you fall asleep**
Many people struggle to fall asleep, and a study shows that having a dog nearby reduces stress, making it easier to drift off.

3. **Reduces stress**
Research shows that dogs help lower stress. Therapy dogs are a great example of how animals support people after tough times in their lives.

4. **Provides warmth**
Dogs like being close to us, and during winter, they offer extra warmth in bed.

5. **Lowers the risk of depression**
Dogs give unconditional love. For people dealing with depression, having a dog nearby can lift their mood.

6. **Safe space**
Even if your dog isn’t the best guard dog, having them close makes you feel safer. They help scare off anyone thinking about breaking in, and their sharp hearing can detect intruders, making dog owners feel more secure.

7. **Good for your dog**
It’s not just you who benefits—your dog enjoys being close to you at night too. Your dog loves you more than anyone else, and being by your side brings them comfort and happiness.

8. **Dogs are good for your brain**
Feeling calm, safe, and happy when your dog sleeps beside you happens because your brain releases more oxytocin when you pet your dog. Oxytocin is a hormone that makes you feel relaxed, confident, and emotionally stable. This not only improves your mood but also benefits your brain, according to studies.

Diddy’s mother, Janice Smalls Combs, spoke to Local 10 News on Sunday about her son’s recent issues. She acknowledged that her 54-year-old son might have lied about the domestic violence seen in a video but said this doesn’t mean he is guilty of the sexual assault accusations against him.

In a statement shared by Fort Lauderdale attorney Natalie G. Figgers, Diddy’s mother said, “My son is not the monster they have painted him to be.”

Meanwhile, a Houston attorney announced on Tuesday that he is representing 120 people who have accused Diddy of sexual misconduct.

The music executive is also awaiting trial for sex trafficking at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
