Hey all after doing alot of research via examine.com I'd like to share some gold I have found. One of the nuggets is the fact that lavendar aromatherapy shows signs it can assist in sleep quality.

Go to the human effect matrix to see more.
Basically the evidence is minor on there site, however if one browses pubmed they will see that there have been studies done on hospital patients to improve sleep quality and they write that it *may* and *can* improve sleep quality. However it seems that it can be quite promising. I read on a study via pubmed that it may even increase SWS .
So of course upon reading this I went out and bought a diffuser to give it a go. I don't have a ton of experience with it yet but can tell you if you are interested to get a couple different things. One is the biggest size diffuser. Look to get on that is 300ml this will last you 8 - 10 hours on constant misting. So that way you can sleep with it all night. I bought one and it only lasts 3. So I will be upgrading.
The diffusers also have descriptions on them for how long they will last with that.
"Lavender oil has been rumored to be an estrogen mimicker, but I did a little more digging on this claim, about two weeks ago and found that there are other claims that they are not. When I look on the EWG skincare database, they usually flag the essential oils as having some kind of negative impact, but it's usually very minor. I like to keep things as simple and natural as possible, but I love pretty scented things and I'm willing to take my chances. :)" - from peatarian.
It may not be 100% peat approved due to little things like decreasing heart rate and decreasing body temperature. However it is enough to make me give it a go.
Especially after trying ritanserin and experiencing godlike SWS, I am open to try anything that can increase SWS.
