Abstract in brief

  • Bed sharing is a common practice worldwide, but most research has focused on mother-infant pairs, with less understanding of its effects across other dyads like couples, siblings, and pet owners.
  • The research shows that people often feel subjectively that their sleep is better when sharing a bed, even though objective sleep measures (like movement and sleep quality) tend to be worse.
  • There are significant gaps in our knowledge about how different types of bed sharing impact sleep, highlighting the need for further studies to improve sleep health and address sleep disturbances.]
