Sleeping with your pet: the pros
Fortify the bond
Sleeping with your pet will intensify the relationship you have with them, especially if you spend a lot of time away from home. You may be missing a lot and the night could be a way to spend time together, to share a special moment.
Help sleep
There are people who sleep hugging a pillow, but isn’t it better to hold your furry friend? Sleeping hugged to someone is the best way to reconcile sleep and rest well.
Improve blood pressure
Love is said to be the best cure out there, and that’s partly true. Feeling affection for another person gives you pleasant feelings that help us feel good. This sometimes lowers blood pressure, aids in proper blood circulation, and avoids heart disease.

Diseases
Sleeping with an animal is not recommended for people who are sick, who have urinary incontinence or if the animal in question goes to the house. If you want him to be with you, make sure he does them before letting him into the room.
Contagions
