Slumber Essential Oil Blend Sleep Sticks For A Good Night’s Sleep

I’m always looking for ways to get a better night’s sleep, and Slumber Blend has been certainly been a big help in that regard. I have, in the past, used it to make my own sleep salve, but I was looking for a format that would be less disruptive to my early-to-bed, early-to-rise husband.

I’ve always been more of a night owl, so when I would climb in bed at night (or the wee hours of the morning), I would have to find the jar of salve, take the lid off, put it on, then replace the lid and put the jar back, which was a bit noisy and required turning the light on so I could see what I was doing. He didn’t complain about it, but I woke him up more than once (despite my best efforts).

My grandpuppy, Duncan, definitely approves of my sleep sticks!

As I considered how I might solve this dilemma, I remembered the post I wrote years ago about making “winter cheeks sticks“, and realized I had my solution right there! All I had to do was use Slumber blend in place of lavender oil, and I’d be able to make my own homemade sleep sticks that would be quick and easy to apply!

DIY Slumber Sticks: How To Make Your Own Sleep Sticks

You’ll need:

Directions:

In the top of a double boiler, or in a glass or metal bowl suspended over a pot of simmering water, combine the coconut oil, liquid carrier oil, and beeswax. Stir occasionally until melted and combined, then remove from heat.

Add 35 drops of Slumber to the melted oil mixture and stir.

Pour the oil mixture into a measuring cup with a pour spot, then use it to carefully fill your empty lip balm tubes. Allow the oil mixture to solidify completely before using.

This recipe will fill about 20-25 small lip balm tubes. If you have any empty tubes left over afterward, you can use them to make homemade lip balm or stain treatment sticks! (Or, for a larger Slumber stick that covers more surface area, you could use an empty deodorant container rather than a lip balm tube.)

Once you have made your sticks, using them is easy — simply swipe a stick over the bottoms of your feet once you’ve climbed into bed, or while enjoying a cup of sleepy time tea. You’ll be off to sleep in no time!

I am new to oils, but boy, did I get started right! Jillee made one of the best roll-ons when she made Slumber. Now I know I can go to sleep when I put this on. I go to sleep so fast that I never get all my praying done! I have to do it before I apply Slumber.

My husband and I use this every night, and within five minutes of application, we are asleep. On the nights we forget, I will get out of bed and make sure we apply the Slumber oil. Hands down, 5-star review!!!

Tammie D.

Love, love, love Slumber! I use a few drops from the bottle in my diffuser and put a swipe on each temple and the back of my neck from the roll-on. Then I climb into bed and try to read, but within minutes, I end up with the book falling on my face - because I'm out!

Becky H.

This is a great product! It has helped my husband sleep better than he has in years. By rolling it on the bottom of his feet and across the back of his neck, he falls asleep in a few minutes. I use it only on the back of my neck and am asleep in no time. I highly recommend this blend of oils.

Charlene T.

The first night I used this, I rubbed it on my feet, then put my sleeping socks on, rubbed it on my palms, and then inhaled it a few times, got in bed, and within minutes, I was sound asleep. Usually, it takes quite a while for me to fall asleep, and then usually have a fitful sleep. Really glad I bought this.
