N3 (NREM Stage 3) is the deepest stage of non-REM sleep, also known as slow-wave sleep. This is the stage during which growth hormones are released by the body to promote physical development, making it important for young children like Josef. As he grows older, his proportion of N3 sleep will decrease, but at 3 years old, he should still be getting a significant amount of this stage of sleep.
