A Pillow Scent That Will Have You Spending a Day At the Beach

Out of the 8 Scents Sleep Scentsations carries, we’ve had a recent spike of interest in one of our scents from the “Fresh” Category. 

Who doesn’t love going to the beach and smelling the ocean breeze?  But how many of you really have the time to actually get you and your family there?

Well this might explain the reasoning we’ve seen a growing interest in our “Day at The Beach” Pillow Scent. This scent will have you feel like you are falling asleep on your beach towel with the scents of the ocean air, warm sand, and suntan lotion (without the sand in your bathing suit! haha) 

For many people, the beach is an extremely relaxing experience.  As you soak up the sun, you are also smelling the scents of the beach you do not normally smell on a regular basis.  Scents like the ocean air, warm sand and your suntan lotion, once inhaled through the nose into your limbic system,  will automatically trigger your memories of the beach and the relaxing feeling that comes along with them. 

Sleep Scentsations Aromatherapy Pillow Liners are the perfect no-mess alternative to bed linen sprays and can bring the Beach to you. 

Why not enjoy a little piece of the relaxing Beach as you fall asleep at night?  It’s also Sun-Burn Free!!!

Enjoy Fresh Cut Grass Without The Allergies!

Did you know that Grass allergy is one of the most common and prevalent forms of allergies ? Grass allergies normally occur throughout the spring season and until the end of the summer season.  It is noted that in the United States alone, about 30% of overall yearly allergies reported or recorded is in the form of grass allergies!

The scary part about Grass allergies is the fact that they can take form of an inhalant kind of allergy similar to asthma. The most usual allergen or substance that causes or triggers grass allergies is pollen. Pollens are very tiny and small particles of ovulation structures owned by plants. Because pollens are so light weight and they are carried over through the air, people can inhale them. Inhaling pollen can cause or trigger some horrible reactions.

Symptoms


Manifestations that indicate the onset of grass allergy are usually identified with breathing disorders or difficulty in breathing. It s because the air passages are narrowed or constricted as a result of the body’s defense mechanism against grass pollen.

The most common symptom of grass allergy is severe or constant dry cough.  The cough can also occur with a sore throat. Itchiness which can appear in several areas of the body can also occur at the onset of a grass allergy attack.

Treatment and prevention of grass allergy 

The best way to prevent an allergic reaction to grass, is to avoid the grass allergy causing allergens, which are usually grass pollen.

So that means avoiding exposure to grass pollen inhalation by  staying indoors during summer and spring when grass pollens are carried out in the open air. Doctors also advise people to install a working air conditioner in their home and room to make sure the ventilation is good and the probability of air contamination with grass pollen is reduced.

If you are one of those people forced or advised to avoid the outdoors because of a horrible allergy to grass and pollen, then you might be happy to hear about Sleep Scentsations’ Aromatherapy Pillow Liners.

Our Pillow liners are infused with essential oils and are a no-mess, allergy-free alternative to linen sprays or even the outdoors themselves.  Choose from 8 amazing scents including the scent Fresh Cut Grass and fall asleep to the pleasant memories of a Spring Day and the scent of freshly cut grass in the air WITHOUT the breathing difficulties or coughing attacks!

Aromatherapy As a Natural Sleep Aid

Aromatherapy is commonly used to alleviate stress, but it’s also useful in aiding sleep and treating sleep disorders. Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of essential oils to comfort and heal, and it is one of the fastest growing alternative therapies in the Western world. In aromatherapy, the essential oils are used externally rather than taken internally.

As we’ve mentioned before, essential oils are said to stimulate an area of the brain, known as the limbic system, that controls your moods and emotions. Sleep is a crucial component of human life, and all mammal, reptile and bird life need it. Sleep helps to refresh, restore and heal the body and the brain.

How Much Sleep Do You Need?

According to webmd.com, a typical adult needs between seven and eight hours of sleep per night, although some people only need five hours and others need 10. When a person runs a “sleep deficit,” meaning they have not had enough sleep in previous nights, then they will require more sleep in subsequent nights.

Sleep Quality vs. Quantity

Although the quantity of sleep is important, quality of sleep is also significant. According to the Better Sleep Council of Canada, six hours of uninterrupted sleep is better than eight hours of disturbed sleep. Disturbed sleep usually includes periods of wakefulness and/or periods of tossing and turning. It can also include difficulty getting to sleep or difficulty waking up.

What Causes Sleep Problems?

There are many causes of sleep problems including:

• Pain – Pain can cause difficulty in getting to sleep and staying asleep. Pain medications may help alleviate this but some have added side effects.
• Poor Diet – Caffeine, alcohol and a large snack before bed can all cause sleep disturbances. Drinking any fluids before bedtime can make some people prone to wake to go to the bathroom.
• Bedroom Temperature -  A bedroom which is too warm or too cold can affect sleep. The ideal bedroom temperature is about 60º
• Bed – Uncomfortable beds can cause back pain as well as make people need to toss and turn more than usual. Ensure the bed is no more than 10 years old and is appropriately designed and manufactured.
• Noise and Light – People sleep best when their environment is quiet and dark. Remove any sources of noise or light.
• Snoring – Either partner’s snoring can cause sleep disturbance.
• Anxiety – Emotional turmoil, anxiety and stress can all cause a person to lie awake worrying or wake up suddenly and be unable to return to sleep while the mind is racing.

Scents that Will Stimulate A Man and Guaranteed to Turn Him On!

You know what gets him going — a flash of lacy lingerie, some naughty texts, a flirty hair toss. Turns out, your scent can also make a man’s pulse race. There’s no doubt that scent is a powerful thing: The nose can pinpoint up to 10,000 different smells.  

This is the concept behind Sleep Scentsations Aromatherapy Pillow liners.  A no-mess alternative to short-lived aromatherapy linen sprays and the answer to a sleeping experience like no other.

When it comes to the magic in the bedroom, with men the equation is as simple as this:     Clean Scents = Turn-on!

Ladies, you’re not the only one who likes that just-out-of-the-shower smell and feeling. Men too enjoy clean fresh scents because they smell  natural, like the girl next door.  For men, a fresh smell is sexy and makes them want to jump into bed and mess up the sheets.

However,  Sleep Scentsations feels that squirting yourself with perfume before you hit the sheets with your man is a little unnecessary (especially if licking and skin contact are involved).  Wearing a perfume is also not as effective as using an Aromatherapy Pillow Liner.  Not only do you get the whole bed smelling sexy, a liner can last multiple days!

A great Sleep Scentsations scent that offers that “fresh, clean, natural smell” in the bedroom, is the White Tea & Lily. It is a fresh, clean aromatherapy scent with floral notes of lilies and a subtle hint of white tea.

It has also been proven that men like a complex spicier blend of scents. The spicy floral ones with a hint of musk can be quite an influence to drive him wild. 

A great Sleep Scentsations scent with these properties is Shanghai Nights, This delicate floral blossom scent, laced with a hint of musk, transports you into the serenity of an Oriental Garden.
The many benefits of Aromatherapy on the mind, body and soul, are endless.  Try it and love it, we guarantee it!

Use Aromatherapy As a WEIGHT LOSS Tool!

Aromatherapy and Your Weight Loss Efforts!

Well, Some new studies have shown that aromatherapy for weight loss can be done! Aromatherapy can help reduce the emotional issues surrounding weight and certain scents have been shown to help control appetite.

Luckily, Sleep Scentsations can be used to balance your appetite, help to relieve food cravings, enhance your digestion and metabolism, just by breathing while your sleeping!

The connection between smell and appetite are thought to be extremely close. As we’ve mentioned before, aromatherapy works on our olfactory system.

Here’s an experiment:   Take a deep breath of bread fresh from your oven…. the  smell will trigger positive reactions in your brain, resulting in you feeling hungry.

Unfortunately in this crazy world, we need Aromatherapy for stress relief. Stress and anxiety are two of the biggest diet killers. They can both cause you to overeat, drink alcohol, or crave sweets.

Stress causes our bodies to release the hormone cortisol . This hormone often causes weight gain! So too much stress can often make you fat.

Some studies suggest that the scents of lavender, chamomile and bergamot can help ease stress and anxiety. Therefore reducing your cravings and making these scents very useful in weight loss!

Most importanly, its critical to discover the smell of confidence.  Many people who desire weight loss are often hurt by feelings of insecurity and self doubt.  Jasmine and Sandalwood are both said to be very effective at boosting self confidence!

YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Sleep + Aromatherapy = A Better Memory!

Try to remember this!

Scientists studying how sleep affects memory have found that smelling a familiar scent while you are sleeping, can help a tired brain better remember things that it learned the night before.

One study done back in 2007,  was the first rigorous test of the effect of odor on human memory during sleep.

Researchers have long known that sleep is crucial to laying down new memories, and studies in the 1980s and ’90s showed that exposing the sleeping brain to certain cues could enhance the process.

Scents have the amazing ability to trigger memories because smelling is the only human sense that directly connects to the part of the brain that stores emotional memories, and research suggests that they also may consolidate new knowledge and facilitate learning. The study published in the March 9, 2007 issue of Science, showed that during certain phases of sleep, odors can sharpen memory and improve student performance on a test of recalling newly learned information.

The Results: German researchers worked with groups of medical students who memorized the location of card pairs on a computer screen. As they learned the location of each pair of cards, the students, who were wearing masks, got a burst of rose fragrance. A half hour later, the students went to sleep. The researchers monitored the stages of sleep through electrodes attached to the students’ heads. During deep sleep, the phase when the brain is believed to process newly learned facts and figures, the researchers released the rose scent again. When they awakened, the students said they had no memory of the fragrance, but when they were tested, their memory of the card pairs was excellent: 97 percent compared to 86 percent when no scent was released.

A smell can bring on a flood of memories, influence people’s moods and even affect their work performance. Because the olfactory bulb is part of the brain’s limbic system, an area so closely associated with memory and feeling, it’s sometimes called the “emotional brain,” smell can call up memories and powerful responses almost instantaneously.

We make most of our olfactory memories as children.

The olfactory bulb has intimate access to the amygdala, which processes emotion, and the hippocampus, which is responsible for associative learning.

Because we encounter most new odors in our youth, smells often call up childhood memories. But we actually begin making associations between smell and emotion before we’re even born. Infants who were exposed to certain smells like cigarettes in the womb show a preference for them after birth. To them, the smells that might upset other babies seem normal or even comforting.

Over time, all of this research might lead to treatments that could pair particular learning activities with aromatherapy to improve memory during deep sleep!

Just another reason to try out Sleep Scentsations’ Aromatherapy Pillow Liners! Our super soft pillow liners are adhesive backed and can easily be placed on your pillow beneath your pillow case, making for the perfect sleep experience enhanced by some really awesome aromatherapy scents! 

Research has proven that smelling the scents of aromatherapy while sleeping can and will effect your brain in a positive manner.  You’ve got nothing to lose except your memory!

Stimulate Your Senses To A Peaceful Oriental Garden

At some point in our lives, most of us have felt the call of the exotic Orient. There is an extensive history and rich culture that appeals to many of us who have lost touch with our own roots. Whether reflected in the form and function of the garden or in the grace and beauty of the architecture, Oriental design focuses on peace, tranquility, and the ease of meditation. Our lives may be chaotic, but it is most important to follow Oriental traditions and have a place of rest and rejuvenation.

For most of us designing a garden is just not in the cards.  There just isn’t enough time in the day unfortunately.  However, there IS enough time in the day to ensure your bed and place of rest is the #1 place for you to find inner peace and relaxation.  That’s why Sleep Scentsations has designed a special Aromatherapy Pillow liner scent called Shanghai Nights, which is a delicate floral blossom scent, laced with a hint of musk, to mentally transport you into the serenity of an Oriental Garden.

Flowering cherries, Japanese maples, and magnolia trees are just a few of the favorites found in the traditional oriental garden. The tree choices all center around color, fragrance, and texture.   Hostas, lilies, peonies, nandina, summersweet, and cotoneaster are just a few of the popular plants that are also found throughout the landscape and were used as inspiration to design the perfect scent to stimulate your senses!
