Lavender Oil

A very relaxing oil , I put a few drops on a tissue when I go to bed and lay it by my bed
after smelling it and doing slow deep breathing exercises it makes me calm and I soon fall asleep. Neals Yard is the best out of all I have tried.

Sleep in a Bottle

I use this to add drops to my pillow before sleep and it totally sends me off into the most deep and comforting sleep, more so than pillow mists I have tried before. Such a relaxing and comforting smell.
