 Scents to dreamland guide - Best scents to fall asleep

Scent can get your attention (cinnamon buns in the over?) and affect your actions (smile when you smell those lovely orange blossoms in the spring?).
Scent can also be a great asset to get better sleep. These five scents most people love that can help enhance your slumber.

Lavender Calming, soothing, relaxing…these are all terms to describe this scent. This plant has been used to reduce anxiety and agitation for many years. This scent may slow down the nervous system, which soothes the mind to improve sleep quality. (A quiet mind is better for sleep, right?) Using the scent for a relaxing massage by using a lavender-infused massage oil may have even more beneficial sleep-promoting effects.

Vanilla Potent relaxer! Taking a test? People who smelled vanilla while completing a stress test had more stable heart rates and better blood pressure readings than those who took the stress test in an unscented room. Hmm…might be a nice spritz for an office or even a baby’s room.

Valerian The supplement has been used for sleeping for a long time, but but the scent of valerian may further aid in helping you sleep: In lab tests, rats who sniffed the strongly-scented herb fell asleep faster and slept longer than those who didn’t. (Not for everyone…this herb can pack a punch in the scent department. Don’t like it? Choose another calming scent and pop a supplement for a double-whammy sleep helper).

Jasmine Delicate white petals and a sweet scent, this packs a surprising sleep punch. People who inhaled the scent while they slept experienced greater sleep qualtiy, less movement during slumber, and overall better sleep.
Say what? Surprisingly, Jasmine’s effects were even more powerful than those of lavender!

Moral of the story?
Choose a scent that makes you happy. Simple, single-note scents are best and always try to use essential oils vs. man-made/synthetic fragrances which can cause a boomerang effect: headache! Not conducive to sleep!

Sweet dreams!
