We all know that a good night’s sleep is essential to your health and happiness. However, even with the best bedding (ahem), relaxing the mind and body before bed can prove challenging. Time to try essential oils. Considered more powerful than the plants from which they derive, essential oil extracts have been used for thousands of years to promote physical, emotional and spiritual well-being – and diffusing them in your bedroom at night is an easy, all-natural way to enhance your sleep. To learn more, we teamed up with Vitruvi, a botanical-focused brand based in Vancouver that’s on a mission to help you take care of yourself, so you can take on the world. Using their handcrafted, porcelain diffuser and essential oils, we explored how they help to achieve superior sleep.
Place a few essential oil drops into water and watch as the vapor drifts out of the small opening at the top of your diffuser (our go-to is the handcrafted Vitruvi Stone Diffuser). You’ll immediately begin to feel – and smell – the calming benefits. Oil diffusers emit aromatherapy vapors throughout any room – so you can use it in guest rooms and kids’ rooms too. Plus, they’re long-lasting. So, whether you’re taking a short nap, or tucking in for the night, you’re guaranteed deep sleep!

Each essential oil has its own composition, scent and benefits. We recommend testing a few different oils in your diffuser so you can determine which ones you like best. You can also experiment with oil blends. Here are our top picks…
