The $300 Million Business of You Not Sleeping Well

Sleep is a big deal, and it seems like I'm not the only one struggling with it. So, let’s dive into the fact that sleep support is now a massive $300 million business at supermarkets. It's mostly packed with all sorts of supplements and vitamins, but the wild part? There are luxury items like $89 silk sleep masks and $300 AI-powered scent machines. I can't help but wonder if this is all new or if companies are just cashing in on folks like us looking for better sleep. What do you think about this whole sleep market trend? Let me know your thoughts at jamesabrown.net.
