Consumers wake up to sleep-aid products

Market grows as people spend more to help them get a better night's rest

It's 2 am and Zhou Xin, a 29-year-old game developer in Beijing, is experiencing another sleepless night. She gets up, sprays a snooze-friendly fragrance on her pillow and takes two melatonin pills to help her sleep.

Zhou is among the 300 million Chinese people that suffer from sleep disorders. A recent report from the Chinese Sleep Research Society showed that currently, 24.6 percent of Chinese people suffer from sleep disorders, and the sleep quality of 94.1 percent of the public does not meet the healthy standard.
