Your beloved pet may be hurting your sleep,
a new research finds.养宠物会影响睡眠质量

一项研究指出，尽管宠物为人体健康带来很多积极影响，但它们或许和睡眠质量不好有关系。

Though pets can have many positive effects
on health, pet ownership was linked with poorer sleep, according to a study.

为分析影响睡眠质量的因素，研究人员查看了美国国家健康与营养调查（NHANES）的数据。他们调整了可能影响睡眠的因素，包括种族、收入、年龄、性别和BMI（身体质量指数），并重点关注调查对象是否患有睡眠障碍，以及是否养了猫或狗.

The researchers adjusted for factors that could affect sleep, including race and income, as well as age, gender and BMI, and focused on whether a person had a sleep disorder and whether a person had a cat or a dog.
