8 Natural Sleep Aids to Help You Fall Asleep (and Stay Asleep)Sweet dreams are made of these natural sleep aids and insomnia remedies |
Badger Sleep Balm, $9.99 While it's not as drool-inducing as a powder shot of melatonin, this balm is meant to help you relax, which always makes for a better night's sleep. Scented with bergamot, lavender, rosemary, ginger and balsam, it certainly promotes a feeling of well-being. Scientifically, the scent of lavender has been shown to have sedating effects in some small studies.
Regardless of the effect of aromatherapy as a sleep aid, the ritual of applying this balm (to your lips, temples, neck or face) does signal the body that it's time for bed, which can have a Pavlovian effect on your sleep cycle. At any rate, the olive oil, castor seed oil and beeswax base make for an incredible moisturizer and lip balm.
