Shower Steamers for Sleep: How Aromatherapy Can Help You Unwind at Night

Why Night Showers Deserve More Credit
If you’ve ever laid awake at night with your mind racing, you know how hard it is to simply "power down." While we often hear about morning routines, your nighttime ritual can have an even greater impact on sleep quality—and mental clarity the next day.
Aromatherapy-infused steam is one of the easiest and most effective ways to signal to your nervous system: it’s time to rest.

How Aromatherapy Supports Sleep
When essential oils like lavender, chamomile, or ylang-ylang are inhaled through steam, their active compounds travel to the brain’s limbic system. This helps reduce nervous system arousal and supports melatonin production—the hormone that controls your sleep cycle.
According to Oily Chic, breathing in "clarifying and calming" essential oils can prepare you for "deep, restful sleep."
