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!

“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 would love a good nights sleep! So “Dream” would be the one I would love to try. I have a very bad back problem and rarely sleep more the 4 or 5 hours so I am always tired. Pain keeps waking me up in the middle of the night OR I can’t go to sleep until completely exhausted. I hate taking drugs for pain, so I am in pain more.
I have used Eucalyptus oil and love the smell of it. I have used Lavender oil on my sheets and pillows in the past as I love the smell of it as well.
I would love to win the Essential Oil Package and learn to make the Dream formula and learn to use other oils as well.

Please log in or create a free account to comment.I use them for so many things that I don’t have a favorite. But the formulas I use them most often for are homemade cleaning and beauty supplies.
Please log in or create a free account to comment.I am definitely going to try this, because I too have the same problem with putting the lotion on my feet at night. This is the first thing I’ve made with essential oils, but I’m definitely going to make other things. The latest would be the warming lotion withe the Black Pepper essential oil. BTW-where do you get the lip balm containers or the deodorant containers? Thanks again.

Please log in or create a free account to comment.I started using Lavender essential oil when I really didn’t have a clue what I was doing! Learned a bit more when I took a class to learn how to make soaps and another to learn how to make lotions. After that, my obsession with essential oils has morphed into my craft business and using essential oils to help others!
