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!

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.”

I met your crafty side on your blog about terra cotta pendant diffusers and thought that was a great idea “back in the day” when I needed them for my son. Thank you for all the good ideas!

Please log in or create a free account to comment.Thanks for all the great essential oil information. I am just getting started but I tried Tea Tree oil in an inhaler. I smell it prior to going around a lot of people.
Please log in or create a free account to comment.I use essential oils for SO many things since I’ve begun making my own…well everything. The benefits are enormous including less packaging coming into my house. My favorite use of essential oil is in my teaching and work studio. I use a diffuser and put in a few drops of Jeddy’s blend. I can see my voice and guitar students leave their doubts and tension at the door. Relaxed focus is so much easier for them to access and it all happens on a subconscious – dare I say cellular? – level.

My husband and I are in our mid 70s and we both have trouble sleeping. It takes me forever to fall asleep and my husband has a very hard time falling back to sleep if he has to get up for potty call during the night. Thank you for offering these 12 days of Christmas give aways.

Please log in or create a free account to comment.I cannot wait to try this. Won’t have the money for the essential oil till bout Christmas Eve. I will use this for my daughter also, as she has a hard time falling and staying asleep also. I do not have much experience with essential oil, but have been very interested in it. Trying to go all natural and home made with my cleaning supplies and air fresheners. So far, in my experience, I love the lavander. I am itching to try other scents and combos. Love your sight and all of your ideas. I have gone throught alot of paper and ink copying your ideas to try. I have a folder just for these, and am slowly getting to try them. Thank you for sharing your ideas and “recipes”.
