TO TURN OFF WORRIES…

Bring an orange to bed!

-

New research in Biomedical Journal suggests breathing in an orange scent overnight works better than prescripti­on insomnia drugs at helping the body reach the deepest stages of sleep. Scientists say that when inhaled, a citrus compound called limonene triggers the release of sleep-inducing brain waves and shuts off the brain’s anxiety center. Just take 12 sniffs of an orange before placing it on your nightstand overnight.
