Taking Notes
Good in Bed
efore blaming his snoring for your undereye circles, check your beauty products. Their aromas, says scent researcher Alan R. Hirsch, may be affecting your sleep. WHAT HURTS: Jasmine increases the brain's beta waves, which help wake you up. Citrus and peppermint oil stimulate the trigeminal nerve, the same one activated by smelling salts. Bitter orange has been proven to decrease restfulness in insomniacs. WHAT helps: Lavender increases alpha brain waves, which promote relaxation. Find it in: Olay Regenerist Continuous Night Recovery Cream (shown) and Bloom Care & Repair Hand Cream. Vanilla "induces feelings of safety and security," Hirsch says. Find it in: Neutrogena Lip Nutrition Vanilla Replenishing Balm and Origins High Potency Night-A-Mins Moisture Cream. Lime-blossom oil has a sedative effect, especially when mixed with passionflower oil. Find it in: Jo Malone French Lime Blossom Bath Oil and L'Occitane Angelica Shampoo. Passionflower oil is in Suave Herbal Care Shampoo and Bliss Fabulous Foaming Face Wash. -- ELIZABETH EINSTEIN
