Can Scents at Night Boost Your Brainpower?

Tried something new for my nightly routine: a scent diffuser. Researchers at UC Irvine found that older adults who slept with a different natural scent each night for two hours had big improvements in memory after six months. Their memory test scores more than doubled compared to those who didn’t use scents. Brain scans showed stronger connections in memory-related areas, too. Most participants even reported better sleep quality. Why does this work? Our sense of smell is closely linked to memory in the brain. Adding pleasant scents might help keep those connections strong. If you’re looking for a simple brain boost, maybe it’s worth giving a scented sleep routine a shot. Would you add this to your bedtime habits? #SleepRoutine #BrainHealth #WellnessTips #Health #Wellness
