Behavioral Psychologist Susan Schiffman has come up with a new way to lull yourself to sleep. It's a little bit conditioning, a little bit aromatherapy
and a little bit meditation all rolled into one.

She suggests that you choose your favorite scent to work with. Start by applying a little, and then close your eyes, while enjoying the scent. Now begin taking deep breaths and feel yourself slowly begin to relax. Doing this one or two times daily (over a ten day period) should bring about a relaxing state of mind whenever you experience this scent again.

I tried scenting my robe and hanging it on the back of the door and guess what... whenever I enter the bedroom, the fragrance begins to work its magic!
