World Sleep Day was March 14, 2008 (though I saw a conflicting article suggesting it was today, March 21, 2008).
What caught my eye when reading about World Sleep Day was this article from a Beijing news site which sure puts things in perspective. There are more people with insomnia (300 million....yes, million....) and snoring issues (200 million) than the entire population of most countries (and combined more than most continents)!!! Even sleep apnea affects more than 50 million citizens of China!
With that kind of market awaiting those who come up with successful solutions for sleep problems such as apnea and insomnia, I would expect even more business investment for such a potential return. Unfortunately there is also this same market for snake oil sellers as well, so we all still need to abide by caveat emptor.
