When designing a bedroom, one’s main focus should be to create a restful atmosphere. The right colors, light, and textures should be carefully chosen to send a message to our brain that it’s time for sleep. One other beneficial factor that completes the design of the bedroom, but we often don’t take full advantage of, is the scent. We all know scent can trigger certain feelings and emotions, but it can also help us sleep, too.
Of course, lavender is one of the most popular aromas for helping us relax and get us in the right zone for sleep, but there are other options that are just as efficient and will also make your home smell amazing, too. Here, I speak with both scent and sleep experts who share a variety of candle scents we can go for to help us get a restful night’s sleep. It’s important to try them out and see what works best for you as personal taste is also a deciding factor, however, this is what science says about using scent to achieve a more restful mood.
