I’ve been having trouble trying to relax lately, its started to effect my sleeping patterns.. Its 7am where I am, and I havn’t been able to sleep.
So I’ve been on the internet trying to find ways to help me out a bit. I saw a website of a local shop here that sells candles that do different things. Like relieve stress, calming scents and what not..
Do these actually work? They’re a bit expensive.. Would any scented candles work? What scents would help me out?
I’ve always heard that Lavender is supposed to be calming and help you to sleep. There’s more ways to use lavender than just candles but if candles are the way you want to go, then try to find something less expensive.
I have a lavender scented spray I use on my pillow cases and it seems to help.
they say lavander scented stuff calm you. i don’t think you should try anything like that though…try chewing valerian roots:D

The previous answers are correct–lavender is a great, relaxing scent.
Have you ever smelled Scentsy candles? They are wickless and flameless so you could actually leave it on at night when you’re having trouble sleeping. Because they use a light bulb instead of a flame, it’s just as safe as a lamp or nightlight. I love my Scentsy! Hubby does too!
Good luck!
