Sandalwood <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sandalwood has an earthy scent that many people find\npleasant. Research has shown that it can be effective in managing anxiety\nsymptoms that could be keeping you up at night. While it can have sedative\neffects in some people, it\u2019s important to note that sandalwood may increase wakefulness.\nIf you find that sandalwood keeps you awake, try using it in the morning\ninstead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Citrus <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Much like sandalwood, different citrus oils have been shown\nto produce differing effects in people. Lemon oil has demonstrated that it can\nrelieve some depression and anxiety symptoms. Bergamot, a type of orange, oil\ncan improve quality of sleep. Again, try it out to see if it promotes\nsleepiness or alertness with you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Jasmine <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to having a sweet floral aroma, jasmine has been\nproven to improve sleep quality as well as cut down on anxiety symptoms. It can\neven increase daytime wakefulness after delivering high-quality sleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Rose and Geranium <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both of these floral oils can reduce anxiety and stress. They\ncan be used on their own or in combination with other oils to achieve even more\nbenefits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Lavender <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lavender is one of the most classic remedies for anxiety and\nsleeplessness. It\u2019s the most widely researched essential oils. A recent study\nhas confirmed that it even has pain-relieving properties. It can also increase\ndaytime alertness in people with sleep disorders like insomnia and sleep apnea.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Vanilla <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Vanilla is widely regarded as one of nature\u2019s sweetest\nsmells, and it provides health benefits to boot. According to recent studies,\nit can lower blood pressure, quiet the nervous system, and reduce restlessness\nand hyperactivity. There are theories out there that it may help with anxiety\nand depression. If the smell of baking cookies puts you in a good mood, vanilla\noil might help you sleep, without all the calories! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have sleep problems, try out one or more of these\nessential oils before bed. If that doesn\u2019t work, see your doctor or dentist for\nfurther treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Deborah A.
