Best Essential Oils for Sleep and Relaxing Evenings
Lavender dominates sleep aromatherapy for good reason. It's been studied more than most oils and tends to feel reliably calming without being overpowering. Cedarwood brings woody depth that feels grounding when winding down after a busy day. Frankincense offers deep, resinous calm that supports meditation and evening routines. Bergamot stands out as a citrus that feels settling instead of energizing. Ylang ylang and patchouli add richness, while orange provides gentle sweetness. Geranium balances floral and herbaceous notes for soothing bedtime blends.
How to Use Essential Oils for Better Sleep: Routines That Actually Work
Timing matters. Diffuse oils 30-60 minutes before bed to set the stage without overwhelming your senses. Pillow sprays work best misted on pillowcase edges rather than where your face rests. For topical application, blend 1drop per teaspoon of carrier oil (refer to packaging for specific directions), then apply to pulse points or the feet during your last hour awake. The routine itself can serve as a sensory cue for winding down. Start simple with one method and adjust based on results.
