Last night I couldn’t sleep and I decided to try some of the aromatherapy oil that I’d received as a Christmas gift from my assistant at work. My assistant had been trying to get me to try aromatherapy oil for years and would tell me where to find it at a great price online, but the truth was, I didn’t think that it could really help with relaxing and sleeping, so I never even gave it a chance.

I tend to be one of those people who think in black and white and the thought of something like aromatherapy oil actually working to help me relax and sleep at night was beyond my comprehension.  I could tell that my assistant just wanted me to give it a try, so finally this year for Christmas; she gave me a gift set which included candles and a bottle of aromatherapy oil.  I used the candles and loved the scent, but since I couldn’t sleep I figured it wouldn’t hurt.  Obviously it helped, because I guess it probably wasn’t 30 minutes later and I was asleep and didn’t wake up until this morning. Maybe there’s something to this oil after all.
