How to Use doTERRA Oils for Better Sleep: Bedtime Rituals

Creating a consistent bedtime routine is key to improving your sleep quality. By integrating essential oils into your nighttime routine, you can create a peaceful environment that signals to your body it’s time to wind down and rest.

1. Diffuse Serenity Essential Oil

Set the tone for a peaceful night by diffusing the Serenity Essential Oil Blend about 30 minutes before bed. The calming aroma will fill your bedroom, helping to relax both your body and mind. You can also add a few drops to a spray bottle with water and mist your pillow and bedding for an extra calming effect.

Here’s a simple diffusing blend that pairs well with Serenity:

• 3 drops Serenity

• 2 drops Lavender

• 1 drop Cedarwood

This blend combines the calming power of lavender and cedarwood with Serenity’s relaxing aroma for a truly peaceful atmosphere.

2. Apply Serenity Topically

For added relaxation, apply Serenity Essential Oil Blend topically or use the Serenity Stick + Valerian and massage it onto your temples, the back of your neck, or the bottoms of your feet. This topical application helps your body absorb the relaxing properties of the oils, easing tension and stress from the day.

3. Take Serenity Softgels

To support your body’s natural ability to relax and prepare for sleep, take one or two Serenity Softgels about 30 minutes before bedtime. These softgels work internally to help calm your nervous system, reduce tension, and promote a restful night’s sleep without leaving you groggy in the morning.

4. Breathing and Meditation

Incorporate simple breathing exercises or a short meditation session into your bedtime routine to enhance the effects of the Serenity oils. As you inhale the soothing aroma of the Serenity blend, take deep breaths and focus on relaxing each part of your body, starting from your head and moving down to your feet. This mindful practice helps you release any lingering stress or tension from the day, making it easier to drift off to sleep.

Additional Tips for a Restful Sleep Environment

Here are a few more tips to enhance your sleep routine with doTERRA oils:

• Keep Electronics Out of the Bedroom: Blue light from phones, tablets, and TVs can interfere with your body’s natural sleep cycle. Keep these devices out of your bedroom or put them away an hour before bed.

• Set a Consistent Bedtime: Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day helps regulate your body’s internal clock, making it easier to fall asleep and wake up refreshed.

• Create a Comfortable Sleep Space: Make sure your bedroom is a calming environment. Keep the temperature cool, use soft bedding, and try to block out any disruptive light or noise.

With the help of doTERRA’s Serenity Sleep System, you can enjoy restful, rejuvenating sleep that leaves you feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day. By incorporating the Serenity Essential Oil Blend, Serenity Softgels, and simple bedtime rituals, you can transform your nightly routine into a calming experience that promotes deep, restful sleep.
