Owners of cats and dogs who sleep with their pets are more likely to suffer from sleep disorders than people without animals in the house.
This is stated in an article published in the journal Human-Animal Interactions.
What to do if your cat interferes with your sleep
To prevent your cat from disturbing your sleep in this case, you need to change his daytime behavior, and for this you should work on his self-confidence.
Give your pet the opportunity to move around the apartment.
Don't scare him, but on the contrary, encourage him. Invite him into joint games, let him begin to trust people and throw away fear.
How to calm a cat at night
If your cat comes into your room at night to wake you up, don't make the mistake of getting up and filling her bowl with food, otherwise she will get used to eating in the middle of the night.
Instead, give her some dry food right before bed.
This way, she will go to bed with a full stomach, which will increase her feeling of lethargy and sleepiness.
What to do if your cat runs around at night
If a cat runs around the apartment at night, you need to take care of its active leisure.
Toys that imitate the habits of birds and animals, balls, wind-up models, climbing shelves, and vertical slides will help.
Play with your pet half an hour to an hour before bedtime, until the animal is completely tired.
