A survey by a hotel chain has found that many men admit they like sleeping with teddy bears, with more saying they would prefer to do the same with actress Angelina Jolie.

The surprising results came in when Travelodge hotel chain surveyed 2,000 men and found more men than women used the stuffed animals as sleep aids. However Angelina Jolie was the hot favorite among male respondents' wish-list of cuddling partners.

Sky News reported that almost 20 percent of men confessed taking a teddy bear to bed with them when they're alone, while only 15 percent of women said they did the same.

However, among women "Pirates of the Caribbean" star Johnny Depp came in as the most preferred cuddling partner.

The hotel chain, which found more than 60 percent people need cuddling partners to sleep, conducted the survey to promote its new "Cuddillow" - that can be used by men and women to slip their arms into and induce the physical sensation of a comforting cuddle.
