On Friday, March 19, the world gets to celebrate a day solely dedicated to sleep. While it could be easily misinterpreted, World Sleep Day, unfortunately, is not a day reserved for lazing around on the couch. It is actually an annual event to raise awareness about sleep disorders and promote the benefits of a healthy sleep schedule.
Based on the data procured over 94,000 nights, sleep tracking app SleepScore Labs found that its Canadians users were getting about six hours of sleep on an average every night, far below the recommended span of 7-9 hours. In terms of falling asleep, on the other hand, the study found that about 79 per cent of Canadian users fell asleep within the advised range of five to 30 minutes.
So, in the spirit of celebrating World Sleep Day, how about learning about a Toronto Stock Exchange-listed mattress stock that has been performing well over the past year? Let’s dive in.
