Mayo Clinic researchers conducted an experiment with the owners of four-legged human friends. They selected 40 hardened dog walkers and placed them in conditions where they had to sleep together.. As a result, scientists recommended dog owners not to sleep in the same room..

The average age of the group was 44 years. Each participant had a dog that he raised for at least five years. For a whole week, dogs and their owners shared a bed.. Before going to bed, the volunteers were put on hand, and the dogs were wearing a smart device that was able to read the parameters of the body's activity as a collar..

As it turned out as a result of the experiment, the time for sleep in humans was 6.7 hours, dogs slept 12 minutes more. It turned out that sleep efficiency in humans was only 81 percent, with large dogs making their owners' sleep somewhat more comfortable than small ones..

Scientists have noticed a difference between sleep efficiency indicators in cases where the dog slept on the floor and on the same bed with the owner.. Separate sleep was three percent more effective for humans. But the four-legged sleep was better when they were next to the owner.
