Essential Oils for a Good Night’s Sleep

09.07.2015 by Girl on Fire // 2 Comments

Your body needs sleep.  Your mind needs sleep.   Not getting enough sleep can do damage to your body and cause it to lose energy rapidly. Stress levels will also rise with improper sleep, which makes dealing with the day’s confrontations and people interactions more difficult. Using essential oils through aromatherapy can help you maintain levels of peace, remove the day’s stress, and help you sleep soundly for the ultimate refreshing morning.

Stress can seriously inhibit a good night’s sleep.  I lay down and my brain will not shut up.  Every little worry runs through my head.  The unsettled sleep will increase chances for increased stress and can ultimately hurt your immune system making you susceptible to disease and illnesses. Essential oils used in aromatherapy can help you relax and sleep more soundly throughout the night.

Some people feel that a quantity of sleep is important. It isn’t the amount of sleep that you need that is important, but the amount of highly effective sleep that is most important. Getting six to seven hours of sleep is important for your body to replenish the energy levels that it has lost from the day’s activities. However, sleeping a quality 6 hours of sleep is highly more beneficial than sleeping a poor, restless ten hours of sleep.

Essential oils used in aromatherapy can help you fully relax and help you to fall into a deep sleep. You will notice the difference the next morning when you wake up and feel totally revitalized from the previous day. Not only will you feel replenished on the outside, your mind and body will be completely healthier from a quality night’s sleep.

There are several essential oils that can help you have a good night’s sleep. The most relaxing of all of the essential oils are Bergamot, Sage, and Sandalwood. Although each has beneficial effects separately, combining all three has the best effect on your mind and body.

bergamotBergamot

Bergamot is a peel from an exotic fruit that smells like the popular citrus scent you get from other fruits. The potent citrus smell makes you feel refreshed and it calms your emotions to give you the euphoric feeling of a calm spirit. You can also blend bergamot with other oils to produce an uplifting feeling with a relaxing state that helps you sleep better.

clary sageClary Sage

Clary sage is a popular essential oil to relax your spirit and it helps get rid of the restlessness from stress and an overactive emotional state. As with some other essential oils, it is distilled from the leaf of a plant that is known to relax you simply from its aromatic smell. It brings you a feeling of well being and within twenty four hours will make you feel like you can conquer the world.

Sandalwood Agmark

The Sandalwood Agmark essential oil will soothe you so that you no longer feel as if the stress of the world is on your shoulders. It helps you ultimately relax and keeps your emotions at bay so that you can sleep throughout the night. The fragrance of the Sandalwood is great for the mind since it is the main factor for stressfully restless nights.

Although each of these bring a distinct benefit, they are most beneficial used together. You can purchase the essential oils separately, but if you really want to have the most relaxing night of your life use them in combination. The combination of the oils will guarantee you a good night’s sleep and give you the most refreshed feeling in the morning.
