Queensland researchers say a new study has found people get a better night's sleep with pets in their bed rather than a partner.

I would have thought if the whole argument is based around disturbed sleep, then sleeping sans human and/or furry partners would be the best option...

Did those doing the survey ask for respondents who may co-habituate with other humans but share seperate beds to answer...? Did they ask sad, lonely non-pet owners like myself as to how good their sleep is?

And a third of people fall asleep at work? Refs please you QLD reseachers, find this bit hard to take without qualification/explanation as to how that figure was arrived at (and what actual inference is it you seem to be making from your research)?

I'll happily put this one forward for next year's Ig Nobel Prize...
