A surprising new study found that people who sleep near their dogs don’t experience disrupted sleep. If anything, the University of Toronto researchers discovered, we humans are the ones disturbing our dogs’ sleep.

And we feel safer sleeping with our dogs, hinting at “a deeper evolutionary history” between humans and dogs, said study co-author Ming Fei Li, who was a graduate student of evolutionary anthropology during the research.

    I let my dog sleep in my bed with me last night.

    He kicked the living ever shit out of me most of the night.

    It’s like he’s dreaming he’s Jason Bourne or something constantly running from a hostile government or whatever.

    He’s 100 lbs American bulldog.
