The Best Sleep of My Life with Essential Oils

This post contains affiliate links.

For as long as I can remember I have been able to fall asleep anytime, anywhere. I literally get into bed at night and pass out within five minutes of laying there. I thought I was getting good sleep.

A few months ago I started researching and purchased my first few essential oils. Since then I have amassed quite the collection and got my first diffuser a few weeks ago. I have tried different oil combinations for numerous things (allergies, cramps, headaches, etc) but never tried any for sleep because I thought I didn’t need it.

The first day I got my diffuser I used it all day long diffusing oils for energy, oils to put me in a better mood, and oils to clean the air. I was addicted. HA! When it came time to go to bed I almost put the diffuser up but at the last minute I decided to put it by my bed and diffuse some Lavender. I slept about the same as I always had.

The next morning I started researching oils for better sleep and decided to mix Lavender and Balance that night when I went to bed. Y’all. I have never slept better in my life. Yes, I had always gone to sleep with no problem but I didn’t realize I was waking up all night and tossing and turning and trying to get comfortable and never really got a sound night’s sleep until I actually got one. I seriously love this stuff!

I have been using my little concoction for about two weeks now and I am obsessed. HA! I still go to sleep really easy but now I actually sleep all night. No waking up or tossing and turning. A few nights I swear I don’t even move at all and I wake up in the exact same position as when I went to sleep.

Even crazy Sophie puppy has been sleeping better! No up and down, off and on the bed all night. Can I get a hallelujah and praise Jesus?! In case you were wondering, it’s perfectly dafe to use oils on your pets.

Here is a little info about both Lavender and Balance…

Balance

I love Balance. I use it in the mornings with Citrus Bliss in my car diffuser to put me in a better mood. It’s amazing stuff y’all!

    My hubby is one of those people that can literally fall asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow. I am not one of those people. It takes my brain a while to settle down.

    Balance sounds like a great oil blend. I’ve never tried it before, but it sounds like it would really help me.

    I have heard alot about these oils. My ex husband use to swear by a couple of them years ago. It was his way of dealing with a toothache.

    I have the lavender, but I’ve never used Balance before. I don’t have a hard time falling asleep, but I do toss and turn throughout the night. I’ll try it.

    A lavender scent would be really nice. I can imagine that having that scent in the room would be calming.

    I’d like to try the lavender. That’s a scent that’s really gained appeal for me in the last few years or so.

    I would love this. I have such a hard time sleeping anymore. It’s not fun. My husband snores in minutes but it can take me hours.

    I so need this. I’ve been having insomnia recently and it’s horrible! I’m always tired and with a toddler, I need energy. The Lavender one will be perfect for me.

    Yes, Yes, Yes. I am in need of both essential oils. I could really use a good a night sleep with Lavender. But most importantly Balance to keep up with my 2 year old.

    This sounds amazing but I have an allergy to Lavender. The Balance sounds like it would work for me at night or even in the day. I have problem with anxiety and having fibromyalgia doesn’t help. I have to get a diffuser for sure. Thanks for sharing.

    I use essential oils on a regular basis (they’ll make a wee one pass out quicktime too!) in my home, although I’ve never come across the Balance one before. I’m going to have to check it out. Thanks! :)
