Do you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep? You’re in good company, unfortunately.
According to consumer research firm Packaged Facts, 82% of American adults have difficulty sleeping at least once a week. This translates into 206 million American adults who are struggling to get a good night’s rest.
However, for many people, sleep issues aren't just an occasional problem. In fact, 39% of Americans have trouble sleeping five or more times a week, and a third of U.S. adults have a major sleep disorder.
In dollar terms, the consequences are huge. The total cost of insomnia exceeds $100 billion per year. Poor sleep can contribute to a variety of indirect costs:
- Poor workplace performance
- Increased healthcare use
- Greater risk of accidents
Given the widespread need for improved sleep, it’s no surprise that sleep treatments represent a significant market opportunity. In a quest for a better night’s sleep, consumers turn to a variety of goods and services, including traditional and alternative healthcare professionals, prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs, vitamins and supplements, and much more.
