Linen sprays are effective for many people to help them calm after a busy day and have the scent linger while they fall asleep. They are also easy to make. Remember to choose a scent you enjoy and to shake the spray bottle before each use. Glass spray bottles are also recommended over plastic because some essential oils can break down compounds in plastic container. Also, any blend that uses water should be replaced frequently.
