Enjoy a Cleansing Nightcap
Stress can build up during the day and keep you awake at night, so try an aromatherapeutic shower before you turn in. Make your own fragrance by filling a mug with rosemary oil and lime; these two ingredients have been shown to calm nerves and help dispel tension. When you head into the shower, place the mug on a shelf near your head and breathe in the scents. The calming aroma along with the hot steam of the shower will help you relax. If you don't have time to take a shower, you can still enjoy the aromatherapy by placing the mug on a nightstand as you're getting ready for bed.
