Story at-a-glance Inhaling specific essential oils before bed helps calm your nervous system, lower stress hormones, and prepare your brain for sleep, without medication Lavender, jasmine, clary sage, and cedarwood have been shown in clinical studies to improve sleep quality, ease anxiety, and reduce the time it takes to fall asleep Your sense of smell is directly wired to your brain’s emotional center, which is why the right scent shifts you out of fight-or-flight mode and into deep rest Layering the same oil across multiple methods, like diffusing, bathing, and topical use, strengthens the relaxation signal and helps your body respond more consistently Some oils, like peppermint and rosemary, are stimulating and should be avoided at night; safety also matters, so always dilute oils properly and avoid synthetic products
