Hoffman, associate professor of Animal Behavior, Ecology and Conservation at Canisius, explored the impacts pets have on human sleep quality. Data collected from nearly 1,000 women across the United States showed:

- Dogs as bed partners scored higher on comfort and security than human and feline bed partners

- Cats were associated with weaker feelings of comfort and security than both human and canine bed partners
