Pets
Pets can bring germs, fleas, or even messes if they’re not housebroken yet, according to Everyday Health. But if you regularly groom your dog or cat and bring it for checkups, this risk is minimized.
Another potential issue is that your pet could be waking you up if it’s sleeping right next to you, disrupting your sleep. Often, sleeping with a pet can provide the benefits of a feeling of safety, love, and companionship, according to TIME.
As much as you love your canine or feline pal, you might have to judge whether it’s worth it to let them stay in your bed if your sleep is constantly interrupted. A good alternative is to make them their own bed in your room, where you can be nearby but still have your space.
