Whether snuggled at the foot of your bed, on your chest or right next to you, they will be a warm and soothing presence.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-31115\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/sleepingwithpet-4-690x460.jpg\" alt=\"sleepingwithpet-4\" width=\"690\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.petspyjamas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/sleepingwithpet-4-690x460.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.petspyjamas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/sleepingwithpet-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.petspyjamas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/sleepingwithpet-4-930x620.jpg 930w, https:\/\/www.petspyjamas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/sleepingwithpet-4.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A recent study of 23,000 dog owners found that more than half of them allow their pets to sleep on their bed with them and really enjoy the company. Most notably, this was because their pets made them feel secure, happy and calm just by snuggling up next to them. Although this seems to be more prominent in single pet owners, it is also very prominent in couples.<\/p>\n<p>These days, the majority of people view their pets as family members and want them to be included in all aspects of their lives, even sleeping and it is claimed there are more advantages than disadvantages to having your pet join you in bed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
