Sleeping with your "Furry" Friend

Sleep is a precious and sometimes elusive commodity. Do your best to get enough to live a healthy and productive life. Practice good sleep hygiene, and try to eliminate anything that disturbs your sleep.

Personally, I have always enjoyed sleeping with a cat nearby. A warm, furry body and a gentle purr can be soothing at times. But, if your pet is preventing your proper sleep night after night, it may be time to consider banning your pets from your bedroom.

Of course, if you suffer from an allergy to pet dander, it is imperative that you eliminate close contact with your dogs or cats.
