Au Lit: The sleep health specialists

Since its founding, the Au Lit chain store has established itself as the benchmark for sleep products in Quebec. This reputation is due in large part to the extensive sleep health knowledge that our staff possess.

Every day, Au Lit’s clients benefit from this unique expertise, which contributes to improving their overall health.

Sleep health depends on Au Lit mattresses

Sleep health is a concept closely linked to the different sleep cycles, more specifically deep sleep and REM sleep. During these phases, the body and mind regenerate themselves and the benefits are truly felt. However, not all mattresses allow these cycles to be reached on a regular basis.

This requires a suitable mattress that allows you to maintain a predominant position, without pressure points that cause stress to the body. As a result, sleep is less disruptive and therefore much more relaxing and restorative.

The different sleep phases

A full night’s sleep includes several phases. Studies show that each of them affects the body differently.

FALLING ASLEEP

During this phase, the body muscles relax and the heart rate decreases.

SLOW-WAVE SLEEP

During this phase, vital functions slow down considerably. This stage has the greatest impact on health, since it is at this stage that cells regenerate the most. This is also the moment where the information collected during the day is recorded and organized in memory.

DEEP SLOW-WAVE SLEEP

During this phase, vital functions slow down considerably. This stage has the greatest impact on health, since it is at this stage that cells regenerate the most. This is also the moment where the information collected during the day is recorded and organized in memory.

REM SLEEP

During this phase, vital functions slow down considerably. This stage has the greatest impact on health, since it is at this stage that cells regenerate the most. This is also the moment where the information collected during the day is recorded and organized in memory.

Deep sleep: a stage with many benefits

Deep sleep generally accounts for 20% of a person’s total sleep time. This is the most important stage, as it has a purifying, regenerative and energizing function.

With high-performance sleep products adapted to the needs of each individual, Au Lit helps you reach and extend this very important phase of a restorative night.

THE BENEFITS OF DEEP SLEEP

During deep sleep phase, many of the body’s mechanisms are stimulated, contributing to better overall health.

  • Removal of excess minerals through perspiration
  • Deep breathing that promotes carbon dioxide exhalation
  • Acceleration of food passage through the digestive system
  • Optimal blood filtration by the kidneys
  • Muscle de-acidification
  • Hormone release for tissue restoration

THE EFFECTS OF A LACK OF DEEP SLEEP

Conversely, if a person cannot accumulate enough hours of deep sleep, they are exposed to physical and mental fatigue that can have various negative effects, including the following:

  • Concentration disorders
  • Increased risk of accidents or falls
  • Irritability
  • Weakening of the immune system

For better sleep health

Sleep disturbances can prevent a person from completing the sleep cycle and reaping its full benefits. Fortunately, thanks to high-performance and long-lasting mattresses and accessories, Au Lit helps reduce these disturbances.

By offering mattresses made from materials derived from advanced research, Au Lit allows consumers to achieve a level of physical comfort that will no longer disrupt their nights.
