Interest in healthy aging is reaching beyond the doctor’s office. McKinsey’s 2025 consumer research reports growing demand for longevity products and services.

In 2022, the American Heart Association added sleep to its checklist for cardiovascular health, formally placing it alongside diet and physical activity. That recognition brings sleep into a conversation often focused on daytime habits.
