Guest guest Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 My daughter has trouble falling asleep sometimes because of her variable schedule. I was hoping to make her a " sleep " pillow, some fragrance she will associate with falling asleep as a sleep aide for her. I know lavendar is prevalent, are there any other scents or oils that are good for sleep or relaxation? Thanks nanczee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Ylang Ylang works well, too, but my children literally ask for Lavender before bedtime!

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 You could try chamomile (if she likes the smell). Selah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a wonderful change off from lavender.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 I was just going to make a little sachet type pillow with cotton to hold the scent. Since she uses her bed during the day she could put it in a drawer or between the cases in her pillow until she gets ready to go to sleep. Cut out a shape, cut out the shape one inch larger on the sides. Put the right sides together making sure to fold and pin in half inch from the top and bottom from the sides seeing that they will overlap a little bit. Sew together. It should have an opening down the back. Turn right side out. Stuff with polyester or whatever you use and add the scented cotton balls. I suppose the scent will have to be renewed now and again.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Do you use a glass bottle? What about the atomizer part - that is plastic. The reason I am asking is a couple years ago I tried to mix some peppermint & cinnamon oil with water to make a room deodorizer. I used a spray bottle from Walmart. You can guess what happened. Within a couple days the bottle looked like it had gone through a war. I didn't know what else to use so I gave up and put drops on a clay diffuser. thanks Sue Fulmer from Wisconsin Sue Fulmer www.forjake.com www.james-2.com On Behalf Of Paula Coon Monday, August 18, 2008 3:01 PM Re: Re:sleep scent I made a " Monster Away " spray for a very happy 6 year old (picture your son in 3 years) who was terrified of the 'monster' that lived in his closet.
