Do you let your pets sleep with you?

Should you?

CNN talks about the pros (and cons) of allowing your pets to sleep in your bed:

Pro:  Many pet owners feel like they sleep better with their pet, sort of like a comfort blanket that helps them with depression and anxiety.

Con:  Allergies.  Even dogs and cats that don’t shed a lot can cause issues so sleeping next to them for eight hours a night might not be a great idea…you might even be mildly allergic and don’t even realize.

Pro:  Your pet probably likes it.  Dogs and cats that sleep with their owners tend to form stronger bonds with them and comes with some health benefits for them

Con:  Your sleep quality might suffer.  A 2017 study found pet owners tend to sleep better with their dog or cat in their room, but not in their bed.  Sleeping next to them can make you too hot plus they move around a lot, which can cause something called “microawakenings”.
