### 🧘 Why This Works

Essential oils have long been used in aromatherapy to influence mood, reduce stress, and improve sleep quality. Lavender and chamomile, in particular, are backed by studies showing their effectiveness in calming the nervous system and reducing insomnia symptoms.

Combined with the act of creating a nightly ritual — like spritzing your pillow, dimming the lights, and taking deep breaths — this simple routine helps signal to your brain: *It’s time to rest.*
