Towards the end of the review period, sales of sleep aids benefited from increasing levels of stress among Italian consumers. Although the Italian economy performed better in 2015, many Italians remained concerned about numerous issues, not least the adverse economic situation in the country. According to Assosalute, The National Association of Self-medication, eight out of ten Italians suffer from chronic stress, with 29% stressed about economic issues, 23% stressed about work and study, 17% stressed about the general economic and social situation in the country, 16 stressed about everyday problems, 10% stressed about health issues, 15% stressed about family issues and 8% stressed about relationship issues. Stress is also affecting Italians in terms of sleep problems, with some 12 million people regularly suffering from, or at risk of suffering from, insomnia. The proportion of Italians with insomnia issues increases to 12% during the period after the switch to daylight savings time in spring and this often continues throughout the summer due to the high temperatures experienced in Italy during summer months.
