Just a one-minute English speech by thinking FOX.
How many dog owners actually sleep in the same bed as their dogs?
Some people say they love sleeping with their dogs.
However, some people also say that the dogs can actually disturb their sleep by barking at night or stealing the blanket, which makes their sleep fragmented.
I’ve never owned a dog or shared a bed with one, so I wonder if that’s actually true.
I came across a study that sheds light on this issue.
This study was conducted by researchers at the University of Toronto and published in the scientific journal PLOS One.
In this study, both the owners and their dogs were equipped with sensors to measure their sleep quality and to examine the relationship between their sleep patterns.
As a result, the owners’ sleep quality was not significantly different even when they shared a bed with their dogs.
Interestingly, the owners and their dogs became active at about the same time during sleep, and the owners tended to move before their dogs.
According to a news report about this study, one of the researchers said that it was the owners who disturbed their dogs’ sleep, not the other way around.
Oh my gosh! I can’t believe it!
If the dog-loving shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi were alive today, all those owners might be thrown in prison.
Dear dogs, I apologize on behalf of all humankind for disturbing your peaceful sleep.
