Bergamot
Unlike other citrus essential oils, which are stimulating, bergamot also has a calming effect. With its wonderful positive aroma and sleep-promoting properties, reducing stress, anxiety and heart rate, bergamot essential oil may be just what you need. In a study on calm and sleep of a mixture containing bergamot oil, 92% of participants found a benefit and said they would continue to use it. Bergamot oil also has antispasmodic properties that help with muscle cramps and asthma.

A number of studies over the past few years have confirmed that it helps for good sleep by relieving stress, relieving tension and eliminating inflammation.
