Your curtains are a peaceful neutral. Your bedding is soft, organic cotton. Your room is dark and quiet, and your chamomile tea is sweet and calming. The missing sense to ease your way into sleep? Smell! Research suggests that some scents (such as lavender) can produce stress-relieving physiological responses, like decreased heart rate.

While you peruse the following sleep scents, also consider embracing these soothing aromatic products in your bedroom to achieve greater relaxation: 

	Now Solutions Ultrasonic Faux Wood Essential Oil Diffuser This curved, vase-like diffuser appears to be a sculptural accent piece. But when you add water and essential oils to the central chamber, it unleashes a thin stream of cool, ultrafine aromatic mist that permeates your room.
	RareEssence Dream Spa Diffuser Free from solvents, alcohols, petrochemicals and phthalates, this diffuser features nourishing lavender, armoise and clary sage to coax you to sleep and calm your mind. A beautiful package makes this diffuser attractive on your bedside table, too.
	Aura Cacia Aromatherapy USB Essential Oil Diffuser A compact, portable diffuser that features a USB port to power a (quiet!) internal fan that gently vaporizes organic essential oils. Plug into your phone’s charger at night, or bring it to work for all-day stress relief.
	Juniper Ridge White Sage Campfire Incense Each stick of incense is made from wild-harvested plants, tree sap, wood and bamboo—no weird perfumes or charcoal. Burn this earthy, light white sage stick in your bedroom while preparing to sleep (making sure you extinguish it before falling asleep) to dream of sun-drenched mountains.
