Pillow mist spray has become very popular recently and is a great product for helping with restful sleep. The closest thing I ever knew to a pillow mist spray was a few drops of Olbus oil or lavender on my pillow to help me sleep.

The Olbus oil was relatively strong and was mainly used to aid a cold. I also remember using Bach Flower pure essential oils as a sleeping aid. Concentrated oil has many uses.

Lavender has always been a good fragrance for helping sleep and calming the mind for a more relaxed feel.

It’s unclear how lavender helps with sleep, but there is the suggestion that Linalool, a major component of lavender oil, produces a sedative effect.

GABA (Gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a neurotransmitter that sends chemical messages to the nervous system and brain. This reaction plays a significant role in aiding better sleep.

Lavender, with its vibrant colour, is found in many products that help us sleep.

The benefits of using a pillow spray

When you find it difficult to switch off and sleep at night, a pillow spray could be just for you. These sprays are infused with aromatherapy ingredients such as lavender, Jasmine, Rose, white musk, lemon, and geranium. The delicate scents help with relaxation, restfulness and calmness. All of which will aid in a better night’s sleep. They are safe to use, reasonably priced and easy to apply. We have all had those nights and mornings where we feel that it takes hours to switch off and fall asleep or wake up in the morning feeling as if we’ve only been sleeping for a few hours, especially during the winter months when it can be challenging to get up and out of bed on the dark mornings.

The importance of sleep

We must get enough shut-eye. Not only is it good for our well-being, but it also allows us to set time aside to switch off from a busy schedule and relax the mind. Over time, lack of sleep can have an adverse effect. We may start noticing that we feel more burnt out, irritable, exhausted and genuinely unmotivated for the day.

Our bodies repair a lot while we sleep. Changes in how we breathe, our heart rate, and brain activity all occur when we rest through the night, so we must get enough hours to ensure that our bodies rest fully. Feeling refreshed when you wake is a sign that you’ve had a restful night. If you wake up still feeling lethargic, forgetful, and dragging your feet, then a lack of essential sleep may be part of the problem.

Sleep helps fight off infections such as colds, so we must get enough rest through the night. We are all guilty of staying up late to watch a movie or enjoy an evening with friends. While this is OK in the short term, over time, our bodies almost cry out for us to listen and take notes to rest. Many of us don’t get the recommended seven hours of needed sleep. Gone are the days when we made a cup of hot chocolate or cocoa to help us sleep. However, these do work to relax the body and mind.

Nowadays, there are other ways to help us, and they don’t involve taking medication. For example, when your brain doesn’t switch off before bed, a pillow mist spray can help.

We often find ourselves in a catch-22 situation: the worry and stress of not falling asleep quickly only increase, keeping us awake even longer.

Why should we use a pillow mist?

One person may not notice any difference when using a pillow spray compared to another. Having a safe and easy-to-use product that can be sprayed onto the pillow or bed linen can help alleviate the restlessness that so many people suffer from. Life is very fast-moving these days, and many of us will often go to bed with the day’s worries or things to do on our minds.

Listening to calming music has a very similar effect, but unlike using a pillow mist spray, the music needs to be switched off automatically so that it does not play all through the night and potentially wake you up again.

The best scents to use

So, what are the best scents to use in a pillow mist spray? Chamomile, an ingredient often found in pillow mists, has been shown to alleviate anxiety.

Lavender is possibly the most common scent found in pillow mists. Its benefits include reducing blood pressure and helping the body to produce melatonin.
