Sleep Journal

Stress and sleep are hugely interlinked. Sleep deprivation or bad quality of sleep can increase stress (and cortisol levels in the body), making it difficult for our dogs to sleep.
 
Your dog’s behaviours can be a good indicator of high stress which in turn maybe impacting their sleep. On the other hand, poor sleep quality itself maybe a cause of stress for your dog and may be resulting in irritable and frustration-related behaviours.
 
Because of this 2-way relationship between stress and sleep, it is a good idea to do a sleep journal regularly for your dog.
