Today, we investigate how the power of aroma can benefit your sleep-wake cycle.

Read below to learn more about how smell can create the optimal sleep environment.

Smell

Associate your rest with a pleasant smell. You can use an air freshener that is unique to your bedroom, light your favorite candle as you prepare for bed (remember to extinguish before sleep), or use an aromatic laundry detergent or fabric softener to keep your sheets fresh.

Similarly, use the sense of smell to help you awaken each morning. Try an automatic coffee maker with a built in alarm to rise to your favorite roast each day.

These tips are easy ways to help get you on the path for better rest!
