300 million Chinese people suffer from sleep disorders, and the sleep industry is accused of being a

March 21st is World Sleep Day. Every year on this day, people pay attention to sleep. It is worth noting that as more and more people suffer from sleep disorders, the sleep industry has become a new growth point in China's health consumption sector.
The sleep industry has exceeded 100 billion yuan.
Data released by the China Sleep Research Society in 2016 showed that the incidence of insomnia among Chinese adults was as high as 38.2%, with over 300 million people suffering from sleep disorders, and this figure is still increasing year by year.
Not only adults, but also the sleep time of teenagers and children is decreasing. The "2019 China Youth and Children Sleep White Paper" released by the China Sleep Research Society showed that 62.9% of teenagers and children slept for less than 8 hours. However, 30% of the respondents are willing to use artificial intelligence methods to improve the sleep conditions of teenagers and children.
This reflects the potential market demand for "artificial intelligence + sleep" in China. Currently, wearable smart monitoring devices such as smart bracelets and smart watches, as well as sleep monitoring APPs that have emerged in the past two years, are deeply loved by consumers.
According to incomplete statistics by a reporter from China News Service, in the Apple Store, there are as many as dozens of sleep assistance APPs represented by蜗牛睡眠、萤火虫睡眠、小睡眠、白噪音， among which the APP with the highest download volume reaches 49，000 times.
The "Analysis and Investment Prospect Report on China's Sleep Medical Market from 2018 to 2023" points out that in 2017， the market size of the sleep improvement industry in China was approximately 279.7 billion yuan (RMB)， including 12.8 billion yuan for sleep health products， 13.4 billion yuan for sleep drugs， 250 billion yuan for sleep equipment supplies， and 3.5 billion yuan for sleep services.
Major companies are making investments in the sleep sector.
Currently， tech giants such as Apple， Google， and Alibaba are making investments in the sleep sector.
In 2018， the US Patent & Trademark Office published an Apple patent application. This patent application showed that Apple's new sleep monitoring system mainly uses smart mattresses to monitor people's sleep and health. MuSiC寝具 has recently launched the world's first T9 intelligent sleep system， using artificial intelligence technology to help users achieve personalized customized sleep.
At the "AI Era Smart Sleep" forum jointly hosted by the China Sleep Research Society and MuSiC寝具 recently， Alibaba Group Vice President Liu Song said that the cross-border integration of artificial intelligence and sleep will transform sleep from a simple physiological behavior into a key node for improving lifestyle， and through dataization and intelligenceization of the past "invisible" black hole of sleep， complete the full-cycle perception of people's health ecology.
The founder of Scene Laboratory， Wu Sheng， pointed out that Apple's application for a patent for smart mattress monitoring， Google， Facebook， and International Business Machines Corporation (IBM)'s acquisition of sleep monitoring companies， all have the same intention， that is， the competition for sleep entrances， which is essentially the competition for attention in this era.
The president of MuSiC， Yao Jiqing， believes that the essence of business is time occupation， the longer the time occupied by consumers， the larger this market will be. Now， the only thing that can match the phone is sleep time. Improving the sleep space， intelligent lighting， intelligent bedrooms， and smart home appliances are all components， which will give rise to a huge market.
Wu Sheng predicted that in the future， sleep will be subscription-based， it is not only a package model， but also a switching model centered on scenarios and user needs for technical solutions. This subscription model will give rise to more exponential growth of system industries.
