Cosying up to the dog at night really is good for your physical and mental health – but sharing a bed with the cat won't leave you feline better.
Scientists claim owners who sleep with their pooch wake up in a better mood, well rested and with more energy and vigour than those without pets.
But sleeping with a cat appears to make no difference at all.
Surveys show up to half of Britain's estimated 13 million dog owners regularly share the bed with their pet.
And many happily let the cat curl up next to them at night, too.
However, the evidence for health benefits has been mixed.
Some studies suggest having pets present can improve sleep quality by lowering stress and loneliness.
Others show it disrupts night-time rest, makes allergies worse and leaves animal lovers drowsy and inattentive in the day.
Sleeping with your dog can be beneficial, but your cat in the bed makes no difference, according to scientists
