Perfume Your Pillow
Some fragrances can waft you into slumber, says Cherie Perez, RN, who teaches aromatherapy at Houston's M.D. Anderson Cancer Center's Place of Wellness. "Lavender is helpful for insomnia, stress, and migraines, while myrrh calms the mind and prepares you for sleep." Put a couple of drops of either oil on a handkerchief, then tuck it inside your pillowcase. Also use lavender for bath oil (see "relax in the Tub"): Mix two cups of Epsom salts with 15 drops each of lavender oil and orange (sedative/anti-anxiety) oil.
