    Sleeping on the floor can often be uncomfortable for pets. Consider providing a more comfortable alternative.

    Help your pet get a good night's rest with these tips from Thayne Maynard of the Cincinnati Zoo.

    • Consider where your pet sleeps. The floor can be too uncomfortable and can create restless nights. A pet bed can make sleeping a more pleasant experience for your pet -- and ultimately, for you.

    • A nightlight can calm pets who are afraid of the dark.

    • For an arthritic pet (or those with other health problems), a massage can be comforting -- allowing them to drift off to sleep in comfort.

    • Finally, consider giving your pet opportunity to run and play during daylight hours. Research has shown that regular pet exercise can go a long way toward sleep regulation and overall good health.
