40 million American experience some type of insomnia annually. Insomnia is difficulty falling or staying asleep, waking up early in the morning and unable to go back to sleep. It can be triggered by stress, medications, drug or alcohol use, anxiety, or depression.

Symptoms:

CPAP/BIPAP AromaTherapy

How many nights a week do you struggle with sleep even with using your CPAP/BIPAP? Good sleep is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Sleep is a regular period in which the body suspends conscious motor and sensory activity. Sleep plays a role in restoring and healing the body. Forty-five percent of Americans say that poor or insufficient sleep affects their daily activities. Twenty percent of Americans report they do not wake up feeling refreshed.

Restless nights can be emotionally and physically stressful. It can make you feel as though you are walking through a fog and your brain is in slow motion. You do not have to feel this way, there is a better way to wake up and function!

The use of a in-line essential oil CPAP/BIPAP diffuser and natural sleeping aids like doTERRA essential oils can support a healthy sleep hygiene.

The CPAP/BIPAP diffuser provides a simple and effective way to receive therapeutic benefits from doTERRA essential oils while you sleep!  Apply 2-3 drops of doTERRA essential oils to the infusion pad, insert the pad into the diffuser, and connect the diffuser to your CPAP/BIPAP mask and tubing. Once you turn your CPAP/BIPAP on, the air passes over the pad providing you with the benefits of AromaTherapy while you sleep.

**Note, essential oils should never be added directly to the water chamber or filters that are used for your CPAP/BIPAP. These items are not made for the use of essentials oils.

Try using doTERRA essential oils like Lavender and Bergamot since they are rich in linalool and linalyl acetate. These are compounds well-known for their relaxing properties. Adding these essential oils to the in-line diffuser will aid in creating a calming and peaceful environment. They calm the nervous system, promote relaxation, and lead to a restful sleep. Here are additional essential oils for sleep and relaxation: Vetiver, Serenity Calming Blend,  Roman Chamomile and Breathe.

Good sleep is important to a healthy lifestyle. Lack of sleep can be harmful to the body and decrease quality of life. Eating healthy, regular exercise, reducing stress, and getting enough sunlight daily contribute to a good night’s rest. However, sometimes we need some extra help unwinding and relaxing the body at the end of the day. Click HERE to watch a doTERRA sleep video. You will learn about additional doTERRA products designed to improve your sleep hygiene.
