No arguments here.
A study has come to the conclusion that having your four legged best friend sharing the bed with you can help you get a better night's sleep, thereby improving your health.
The findings come from researchers at Canisius College in Buffalo, New York, who surveyed 962 women living in America about their sleeping habits.
The scientists found that 57 per cent of the women polled slept with another human, while 31 per cent shared their bed with a cat and 55 per cent slept alongside a dog.
According to the study, women who sleep with a dog were more likely to get a more restful night's sleep than those who opted to share their bed with a cat or human.
The study also found that those who slept next to their pet pooch were more likely to both go to bed and wake up earlier.
The study explains: "Compared with human bed partners, dogs who slept in the owner's bed were perceived to disturb sleep less and were associated with stronger feelings of comfort and security."
So... there you have it, the key to ending your sleep struggles could be out rolling in the garden right now.
