Do you struggle to fall asleep every night?
Or maybe you fall asleep easily but wake up several times through the night?
Whatever the reason, lack of sleep can leave you feeling tired, irritable and struggling to get through the next day.
There are several reasons why deep sleep eludes so many people. For some it may be due to some underlying stress, for others, it may be chronic pain or some other factor that keeps them awake.
Several studies have shown that aromatherapy can be very effective for inducing sleep. Lavender, chamomile, ylang-ylang, sandalwood, sweet marjoram, and bergamot are some of the best essential oils for sleep.
While you can use them individually, using essential oils blends for sleep is even more effective. This is because the different essential oils used in the blend work together to provide powerful sleep-inducing benefits.
Using the right oils in the right combination is the key to getting the benefits of essential oil diffuser blends for sleep.
These deep sleep diffuser blends are created with a combination of essential oils that will help you get the sleep your body needs so you can wake up feeling rested and ready to tackle the day ahead!
As you scroll down, you will find my tip for saving money on essential oils when creating blends.
But first, a quick look at some of the best essential oils for sleep and how they work.

How to Use Your Favorite Deep Sleep Diffuser Blends
There are several ways you can use your favorite deep sleep diffuser blends.
Make your own relaxing pillow spray using any one of the deep sleep diffuser blend recipes. Don’t want to make a pillow spray? Simply flick a few drops of the blend on your pillow before you go to sleep. Keep in mind that this may stain your pillow cover, depending on the blend you use.
Add a few drops of your favorite blend in a relaxing bath. Before using essential oils in the bath, take a few minutes to read about the right way to use essential oils in the bath to avoid any skin irritation.
The most popular and easiest way to get the benefits of these deep sleep diffuser blends is by using an aromatherapy diffuser. All you need to do is add a few drops of your favorite blend in an essential oil diffuser, place it on your bed stand and switch it on. The diffuser releases the aroma slowly and steadily so that you get the sleep-inducing benefits continuously for a longer time. How long your diffuser runs will depend on the run-time of the unit. A larger device with a larger capacity will run for a longer time.
If you have a spacious bedroom, you should use a diffuser that’s designed for large spaces to get the sedative effects of the blend. These are my top picks for Essential Oil Diffusers For Large Spaces.

How to Save Money On Essential Oils When Creating Your Own Deep Sleep Diffuser Blends
Making blends involves using two or more different essential oils. And if you want to experiment with more than one blend recipe, you’ll have to buy a whole lot of bottles. This can work out to be quite expensive when you buy each bottle individually.
One way you can save a significant amount of money on your purchase is by buying an essential oil set instead of buying individual bottles of oil. You can find a wide assortment of essential oil sets. Each set typically includes a different number of oils and the oils included in the sets also vary from one brand to another. First, decide which Deep Sleep Diffuser Blends you’d like to use and make a list of the essential oils you’ll need. Then take a look at this list of Best Essential Oil Sets – Save Money On High-Quality Oils, and buy the set that includes the oils on your shortlist.
