The Gift of Sleep

If you are stumped on what to give your loved ones this holiday season, let us convince you why you should give the gift everyone needs but didn’t even know they wanted—that is, the gift of sleep.

Research has shown that 35% of Canadians have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. This makes Canada the joint third most sleep-deprived country with the US, after the UK and Ireland. This percentage skyrocketed because of the emotional, physical, and financial demands during the holidays. Anxiety and stress levels become higher and this keeps you up all night.

But let us tell you something.

Lack of Sleep Gets You on the Naughty List

Lost hours of shut-eye have some serious consequences in the short-term (that are especially bad this time of year when you-know-who is watching). If you are logging less than seven hours of sleep each night, you are way more likely to be snapping at your in-laws, rolling your eyes at the clerk at the grocery store, and silently (or not silently) swearing at the cars trolling the shopping centre parking lot.

But that’s not even the worst part. The long-term consequences of sleep deprivation are far more severe than being easily irritable. Lack of sleep can lead to an increased risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, immunodeficiency, weight gain, and stroke. That’s why you should consider...

Giving The Gift Of Sleep This Year

No, you can’t actually gift someone eight hours of uninterrupted shut-eye. But you can gift them the tools needed to get their best night’s so they can sleep in heavenly peace all through 2019. The most notable tool—a mattress.
