Best Essential Oils for Sleep
Lavender
Lavender is well-known for its calming and sleep-enhancing qualities. It can reduce anxiety, lower heart rate, and create a soothing space to drift off peacefully. Perfect for a natural car air freshener too, lavender is versatile and gentle.
Chamomile
Chamomile has a soft, apple-like scent and works like a mild sedative. It calms the nervous system and reduces restlessness, making it easier to fall—and stay—asleep.
Cedarwood
Cedarwood contains cedrol, a compound known for its deeply relaxing effects. Its warm, woodsy scent helps ground the mind—great for quieting mental chatter before bed.
Sandalwood
Sandalwood’s earthy, rich aroma creates emotional balance. It’s ideal if your thoughts tend to race at night or if stress keeps you awake.
