Routine No 712 - Mindfulness

Spray your pillow and bedlinen with lavender.

Spray your pillow with a calming scent like lavender or your personal favorite. Essential oils are known to reduce stress and anxiety, promoting a sense of relaxation that can help you fall asleep faster and enjoy better sleep. 

Important! Before using any scents, test for allergies or any potential side effects to ensure a safe and pleasant experience.

Why it helps:
Smells can trigger both physiological and emotional responses. Preferred scents have a positive impact on sleep by reducing stress levels and increasing relaxation. Your sense of smell is most sensitive in the evening, around 9 pm. Ideal scents for improving sleep include lavender, rose, chamomile, jasmine, and cedar extract. Don’t forget to pack your scented spray when you travel; it can improve your chances of getting a good night’s sleep, even in an unfamiliar place.
