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).
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!
Here’s how to make them.
DIY Slumber Sticks: How To Make Your Own Sleep Sticks
You’ll need:
- 1/4 cup virgin coconut oil
- 1/4 cup fractionated coconut oil (or other carrier oil)
- 2 Tbsp beeswax pastilles
- 35 drops Slumber Essential Oil Blend
- Empty lip balm tubes
- Double boiler (or a pot and a metal/glass bowl)
- Measuring cup
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!
Love the idea of sleep sticks but don’t want to DIY? Just grab my Slumber Blend Ready-to-Apply Roll-On! The convenient roll-on bottle makes it quick and easy to apply Slumber blend topically. No mixing required and no mess!
You don’t just have to take my word for it that Slumber will help you sleep better! Just check out these customer reviews:
“3 weeks ago I started using Slumber. I didn’t think it was making a difference until I forgot to turn the diffuser on one night. I won’t be making that mistake again! The oils helps me relax and fall asleep easily.”

Please log in or create a free account to comment.I was thrilled to come across your site last year…I keep a folder that I put the ones I like and would use the most into. I have 3 grandchildren who I want to order Jeddy’s formula for….I was so excited to read about its benefits…reading about Jeddy himself, was like listening to one of my daughters giving the “exact” description of my oldest grandson at school. I will send for this and can hardly wait to see his results and have my great little guy back again and not having problems.
I will keep referring my friends to your site so they can reap the benefits also. :)
Merry Christmas from Ottawa, Canada’s Capital:)

Please log in or create a free account to comment.I started getting into using essential oils about a year ago when my 1 1/2 yr old had really bad ezyma and the Dr prescribed a steroid cream for it. After about a few months I started to think about why I am am putting a steriod cream on a 1 1/2 yr old and what effects it could have in the future. So I started looking at natural ways to treat him and starting learning about essential oils and homemade remedies which I love. I then realized that the chemicals I used to clean my house could also be harmful to my little ones so I started making my own natural cleaning spray which I use as an all purpose cleaner. Then through out the year I started I putting a midevil oil blend and diffuser in my childrens bedroom and other then a runny nose every so often they have been very healthy and hardly ever sick. I have slowly become a drug free/ chemical free household and I love it. I am always looking for new natural recipes to try. I have tried a couple of your recipes and they turn out great.

Please log in or create a free account to comment.I LOVE using essential oils for so many things but my favorite is using the LXR blend for anxiety & stress. I was recently put on modified bed rest from my blood pressure being too high and I believe it was up for being under alot of stress lately. This blend has helped me so much in just a few days! Anytime I start to feel anxious or stressed about a situation I can do nothing about, I break out my LXR, put a little behind my ears and just inhale from the bottle. I feel so much calmer instantly. I don’t know where I would be without this blend! Thank you Spark Naturals for this blend & thank you Jillee for your awesome giveaways!!
Please log in or create a free account to comment.My absolute favorite use for EOs right now is using them for energy boosts! Every single energy drink I have ever tried (even an all natural one from my mom’s company) has failed me in one way or another, but not essential oils! One whiff or a drop on my tongue and I’m good to go. Unfortunately, I’m a broke college student and so the little oil I have runs out fast :/ and then it’s just gone.
