Andy galpin talks about sleeping with dogs

Andy Galpin discussed the impact of sleeping with pets on sleep quality. He explained that having pets, like dogs, in the bedroom can lead to higher carbon dioxide (CO2) levels if the door is closed. This increased CO2 can cause sympathetic arousal, potentially affecting sleep stages and quality. He noted that while CO2 levels may not be an issue for everyone, those sensitive could experience disruptions in their sleep 1.

Additionally, Galpin mentioned that pet presence, particularly dogs, might be a source of snoring noise that affects sleep. It's important to assess whether issues such as snoring are from oneself, a partner, or even a pet, as addressing such factors could improve sleep quality 2.
