Study: Women sleep better with pet dogs than partners

A Canisius College study found women sleep more peacefully with pet dogs than with husbands or partners.

Researchers say dogs offer comfort, security, and fewer disturbances, reducing sleep interruptions.

The study surveyed 962 women and was led by Professor Dr. Christy L. Hoffman.

Both cats and human partners disturb sleep similarly due to night activity or snoring.

Women feel safer with dogs, who alert them to danger, contributing to deep sleep.
