Kittens sleep with people. Is this harmful to the human body?

Generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with sleeping with pets. However, there are also some situations that need attention:

1, allergic friend

It is reported that close contact with pets may increase the chance of asthma attack, so people who are allergic to some pets are not recommended to keep pets, let alone sleep with them.

2. Pets have many outdoor friends.

From the health and hygiene point of view, some pets stay indoors, while others need a lot of outdoor activities every day, so they can't be compared. Most pets are not suitable for frequent bathing. So pets can't keep clean and hygienic like people. If you want to sleep with your pet, it is recommended to give your pet a bath.

Cat sleep tips:

There is concrete scientific evidence that cats dream. Like humans, cats sleep in two ways. One is Rem. If the cat's eyes move quickly, it may indicate that the cat is dreaming.

One is non-REM, that is, deep sleep of cats. In this way, you will understand that your cat is in a state of rapid eye movement sleep at this time, because its limbs are always twitching from time to time and its beard is shaking. Behind its closed eyelids, its eyes are turning vaguely.

The study on EEG of sleeping cats shows that about 30% of cats' sleep time is in REM sleep stage, and their brain wave forms are very similar to ours.

In contrast, we humans spend about 20% of our sleep time in REM sleep (but as much as 80% of our sleep time in infancy will be in REM sleep).

When cats are not dreaming, they are in a deep sleep stage. At this time, their bodies enter a rest period, bones and muscles begin to regenerate, and the immune system plays a role in resisting the invasion of diseases. During their deep sleep, you can see that the only action of cats is to breathe together in a quiet and orderly way.
