Study: Sleeping With Fragrance Improves Memory

Wake Up With Cheddar

Many people like sleeping with an essential oil diffuser in their bedrooms. But there may be more benefits than just a relaxing night to rest. A new study found scents can also help boost people's memory. Scientists at UC Irvine wafted a fragrance into the bedrooms of adults aged 60 to 85 for two hours every night, for six months straight. They found the test subjects had a 226% increase in cognitive capacity. While scientists have already known that there was a tie between smell and memory. They call it an easy non invasive technique for strengthening memory. The technique could also potentially deter dementia. Christen. I have an oil diffuser. Honestly, I don't use it as much as I should. But after this, it's going in my bedroom tonight.
