Enjoy benefits of lavender for sleep and see how to make relaxing DIY lavender sleep spray! The calming homemade pillow mist promotes relaxation and restful sleep. This easy aromatherapy recipe includes tips for sleep spray with and without essential oils and a sleepy time blend for kids slumber spray.
I don’t know about you but the last few months have been stressful and straining. I can handle stress relatively well but with one exception: sleep! Stress can take a toll on the quality of sleep. It’s no fun laying awake in bed with a busy mind, contemplating your worries and frustrations. Sounds familiar?
Well, the essential oil recipe I’m about to share today can help with that. My Palmist Pillow sleep spray is very calming, allowing you to slip into slumber smoothly, fight insomnia and enter relaxed, restorative sleep.
This homemade lavender pillow mist recipe smells so much better than store-bought, and it’s full of natural ingredients – no artificial fragrances, aerosols, or preservatives with this fragrant slumber spray.
I’ll admit that I was a little skeptical to try lavender at first, because I had no idea what to expect. Guess what? I put a few drops on my pillow and to my surprise, fell asleep easier and faster.
Since then, I do not only believe that essential oils work but can improve the quality of life. But let’s put anecdotal evidence aside, and look at was science has to say about lavender and sleep.
A study with ICU patients showed that the quality of sleep in patients was significantly improved after aromatherapy with lavender oil. The authors conclude that lavender essential oil is, in fact, beneficial for sleep and health. (source) Researchers studying the nervous system in women with insomnia came to similar conclusions.

Other studies also suggest that lavender increases the percentage of deep sleep (source) and helps to improve sleepiness at awakening in the morning. (source)
You may want to add a lot of sleep spray thinking the effect will be more impactful. But the opposite is true.
At night, our body needs to rest, and our thoughts slow down. During this time, the brain is less responsive to the outside world. Having too much scent in the air can be a distraction, because the scent molecules are constant stimuli and keep the brain from entering deep sleep.

To prevent your body and nervous system from being overloaded, it’s safest to use only 1 to 2 pumps of sleep spray.
You can easily adapt this lavender spray for kids. Since children are more receptive to scents, lower the essential oil concentration. It’s best to cut the amount of essential oils in half when you make a DIY sleep spray for children. Of course, adults can use it too!
