Content: Cats are crepuscular, which means they are most active at dawn and dusk. But luckily for cat parents, cat sleep schedules are malleable and can be altered to align with yours. Goodbye to the days of yowling for food early in the morning, or begging for your attention when you just want to wind down. If you want to have your cat sleeping at the same time as you, keep in mind that some adjustments to your cat’s lifestyle must be made. Here's how to get a cat to sleep at night. How to Adjust a Cat's Sleep Schedule
1. Address Any Health Concerns
Before attempting to adjust your cat’s sleep schedule with behavioral modifications, make sure they don’t have an underlying medical problem that causes them to stay awake at night. Painful conditions, hormonal imbalances, flea infestations, eye conditions and deafness can make it difficult for your tired cat to sleep peacefully. If your cat seems restless during the day, too, take her to the vet to rule out these health concerns. “ For example, some senior animals lose their hearing, so their loud meowing is to try to hear their own noises,” explains Dr. Rachel Barrack, a licensed veterinarian and certified animal acupuncturist.
