VICEさんのインスタグラム写真 - (VICEInstagram)「You're human. Worrying before, during, and after sleep is What We Do. Turns out this *quality* is not just exclusive to us: according to a study, dogs are also kept up at night by anxiety – and just like us humans, there’s really nothing you can do about it. ⁠ ⁠ The study, published in The Royal Society scientific journal, measured the sleep experiences of dogs who were exposed to either positive or negative emotional experiences pre-sleep, like being affectionately touched by their owners, or approached by an intimidating stranger (ew). The results showed dogs who were exposed to positive experiences had a deeper and more consistent sleep, while dogs who were stressed before sleep were prone to waking up, staying in REM sleep, and generally having a shit one.⁠ ⁠ Yet the dogs who had negative experiences pre-sleep were quicker to actually fall asleep on average than other dogs, which scientists say is very much in line with human behavior. Like how you often desperately want to power the fuck off at the end of a terrible day and just shut your physical self *off.*⁠ ⁠ So there you have it. Your furry friend may be stressed at night. Great. Give them a cuddle and happy f*cking hump day.」11月2日 0時55分
