If you are asking why a dog sleeps touching a human, it is often to ensure he/she will be awakened if the human moves. This prevents to human from leaving while the dog is sleeping.
I have 3 dogs of my own. They lay on you because they are very social animals. They love you more than anything... They rely on you to look after them because they are not like humans. They cant get food by themselves if you leave them abandoned in the house or anywhere. So the dogs love you because you love them. If you want any information please comment on my message board.. Thanks :)
Because they are pack animals. They see their owners as part of their pack and crave their owners attention and companionship.

Do you get good sleep when you sleep with your dog?

It depends on your dog. If your dog kicks, rolls over or gets up in the night, you might not want to sleep with them. Try it out and sleep with your dog for one night. But your dog is one of the most comforting thing in your house and may put you right to sleep. A lot of the times a bigger dog will wake you up and wont really make you feel comfortable. Really it all depends on your dog if he wont wake you up in the night and he is a smaller dog id say go for it.
