    One of the key trends in the Sleep Aids market in Malta is the rising popularity of herbal and natural sleep aids. Customers are becoming more conscious about the ingredients they consume and are seeking out products that are free from chemicals and artificial additives. This has led to an increase in the availability of herbal sleep aids in the market, including products containing ingredients such as valerian root, chamomile, and lavender.Another trend in the market is the growing demand for sleep aids that can be easily integrated into customers' daily routines. This has led to the development of innovative products such as sleep sprays, sleep teas, and sleep-enhancing supplements that can be taken before bedtime. These products offer customers a convenient and hassle-free way to improve their sleep without disrupting their regular routines.
