Nutrients You Need For Great Sleep

A study conducted by the University of Oxford found that omega-3 fatty acids can help you get deeper, more restful sleep.

Omega 3s are essential fats, which means that your body doesn't naturally produce them.

Eating fish is the best way to incorporate omega-3 fatty acids in your diet but other sources of omega-3s are chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, h**p seeds, walnuts and flax seeds.

Another 5 star review!

Six years ago, my husband and I treated ourselves to a custom mattress from Unique Sleep, and we were extremely happy with our purchase.

Fast forward to the spring of 2026, when I began experiencing back pain. My husband suggested that I sleep on his side of the bed for a few nights to see if the firmer support would help alleviate my discomfort. It did.

I contacted Irene to ask if there was a way to modify my side of the mattress to provide additional support. Together, we discussed some options, and Irene said she would get back to me within a week with a plan.

Just a few days later, a devastating fire broke out and destroyed the Unique Sleep showroom and warehouse. Most business owners would have understandably been focused on dealing with the aftermath of such a major loss, and no one would have blamed them if customer service had taken a back seat while they recovered and restocked.

Not Irene and Chris.

Despite everything they were facing, they remained committed to helping me. They didn't want me to wait several months until they were fully operational again to get the support I needed for a good night's sleep. Instead, they came up with an innovative solution using components already inside my mattress. By rearranging and adjusting a few pieces, they were able to create the firmness and support I needed.

I cannot say enough about their dedication to their customers. Their commitment to client care, product knowledge, and exceptional customer service is truly remarkable. In a time when many businesses talk about customer service, Irene and Chris genuinely live it.

If you're looking for a company that stands behind its products and truly cares about its customers, I wholeheartedly recommend Unique Sleep.

Nutrients You Need For Great Sleep

A deficiency in selenium could be the reason for your sleep problems!

Getting enough Selenium may not only help you to fall asleep but also to stay asleep! Selenium is also important for your immune system and thyroid function.

A small amount of selenium is enough to make a difference. Great natural sources are Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, beef, oysters, chicken, and cremini mushrooms according to Mind Body Green.

The Stages Of Sleep

Stage 5: REM -Sleep

The REM stage is the stage during which we . It is defined by rapid eye movements even with closed eyes. Breathing is rapid, irregular and shallow.

The heart rate and blood pressure increase. Arms and leg muscles experience a type of paralysis that keeps people from acting out their dreams and accidentally hurt themselves or their person.

We are still learning about the process of dreaming but it is generally understood that dreaming stimulates the parts of the brain used for learning and memory.

Some studies suggest that dreams are a way for the brain to sort and store information gathered throughout the day.

This last cycle of the stages of occurs about an hour to 90 minutes into the sleep session.

Scientists believe that tissue repair takes place during this stage of sleep. Also, hormones may be released to assist with growth development.

Stage 3 sleep is the start of deep sleep, also known as slow wave sleep. In slow wave sleep, brain and muscle activity decrease significantly. This is where the body gets rest.

First of all, thank you to all of our clients, family, friends, neighbours, and even complete strangers who have reached out with messages of support following the fire. Your kindness and encouragement mean more to us than words can express.

We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to the brave firefighters from , , , and everyone else involved in responding to the fire, protecting the building, and monitoring the site throughout the night. We are incredibly grateful for your dedication and service.

We have now had the opportunity to assess our showroom and, as the photos show, the smoke and water damage is extensive. As a result, our showroom will remain closed until further notice.

Our warehouse appears to have sustained smoke damage as well. We are still evaluating the extent of the impact, but it is likely that we will need to reorder inventory once the cleanup process is complete.

If you are an existing client and require assistance with adjusting your mattress or have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The Stages Of Sleep

Stage 2: Non-REM Sleep

The 2nd stage of sleep is the official “beginning of sleep”, the person is actually asleep and the sleeper is not aware of surroundings.

Brain activity starts to slow down, as well as heart rate and breathing. Eye movements decrease significantly or are non-existent. Body temperature falls a little and a state of total relaxation is reached in preparation for the deeper sleep to come.
