Help Your Cats Sleep by Playing With Them Before Bed
Engaging in a play session with your cat before bedtime isn’t just beneficial for them; it can also improve your sleep quality. If your cat tends to be energetic at night, keeping you awake by crawling all over you, a pre-bedtime play can help expend that excess energy. This activity not only helps your cat settle down for the night but also strengthens your bond and can be a great stress-reliever for you. Making this a regular part of your evening routine can lead to more restful nights for both you and your cat.
For best results, engage your cat in activities that are physically and mentally stimulating to exhaust their energy before bed. Activities like chasing laser pointers, playing with feather wands, or interactive toys that encourage hunting behaviors can be very effective. The more tired your cat is, the better they will sleep through the night, which increases the likelihood that you’ll have a peaceful sleep as well.
