Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the presence of differences in sleep quality between working Malaysians who co-sleep and do not co-sleep with their pets. Good sleep quality is very scarce among the working class in Malaysia due to the effects of globalisation in the country, added by high levels of job insecurity and power-distance culture in Malaysia, which leads to the community overworking themselves. Therefore, in an attempt to regulate sleep cycles and reduce the risk of developing sleep disorders, the general objective of this study is to investigate the overall sleep quality from co-sleeping with pets among working Malaysians. In a sample of 150 participants collected via distribution of online questionnaires, the Independent T-Test data and reviews of the responses from the participants show that there is a difference in sleep quality, specifically that sleep quality is indeed higher among individuals that co-sleep with pets. In short, all objectives of the study are met and further interventions involving co-sleeping with animal companions to combat sleep deprivation should be implemented.
