Health and Wellness link no longer available I don’t mean to brag, but my oldest daughter was probably the link no longer available sleeper in the world. In fact, I think I probably link no longer available brag about that a few times. Because I was awesome, obviously.
Then, my youngest came along. And, she link no longer available sleep from day one.
She’s four, now, and still has a hard time falling asleep most nights. We do the normal song and dance. Soothing epsom salt bath with lavender. A nice long story snuggled under blankets. Then finally, a song (or 10) before bed. She was still up and down for a solid
before falling asleep, and something had to give!
A few months ago, she told me she was scared to fall asleep, because she thought she’d have bad dreams. Well,
I can help with. We quickly whipped up a sweet dreams spray together using my essential oils, and sprayed it all over her bed, banishing every monster and bad dream from her room.
This spray changed our entire night time routine!

This spray has become part of our night time ritual. We read a story, sing our song, and then spray down the bed and all of the stuffed animals before she falls asleep. It’s magic.
I chose the specific oils I used for their ability to help calm the mind and settle the nervous energy, but I’ll give a few different options for you to try!

Use a funnel to add your witch hazel and water, and then add your oils by dropping them directly into the bottle. Put the lid on and gently swirl to mix.
Spray this on your pillow, comforter, and anywhere else you feel necessary before bed. My daughter likes me to spray her head board, stuffed animals, and blankets before bed every night.
before each use, be sure to give the bottle a little swirl to mix the oils back in. They tend to float to the top!
A couple of tips on using oils:
When choosing what essential oils to use on yourself and your family,
keep quality in mind. Not all essential oils are created equally, and the laws regulating them in the US leave something to be desired. After years of learning about different brands and trying them, I chose Young Living for their quality and customer service. If you’re new to oils and need help ordering, be sure to visit
to walk you through the process of getting started with your own wholesale membership!
Not sure you want to use oils around your kids? I totally get it! I was the same way at first. My favorite book for explaining essential oil safety in regards to pregnancy, babies, and kids is
. If you want to start using oils and have young kids in the house, I highly recommend you grab yourself a copy!
How easy is this sweet dreams spray? All you need is oils, witch hazel, and water! Even those of you that don’t like DIYs could get this one done in just a few minutes. If you do, let me know which blend you decided to use!
