What Experts Say

"Nidra cues the brain for sleep and supports deeper rest."– Shane Creado, Sleep Medicine Physician

Includes Jasmine Essential OilCan Promote MelatoninFor restful sleep60-hour Burn Time

Our Studies

Human:
Inhalation of jasmine essential oil has been associated with improved sleep quality and reductions in anxiety in human trials.¹ Studies report enhanced relaxation and parasympathetic activation, aligning with the body’s natural transition into rest.² Jasmine aroma has also been shown to influence melatonin secretion and GABAergic activity, both key pathways in the initiation of sleep.³ EEG recordings during jasmine exposure demonstrate increases in slow-wave (delta) brain activity, consistent with deep, restorative sleep.⁴

Preclinical:
Animal studies suggest jasmine’s key compounds (e.g., benzyl acetate, linalool) act on GABA receptors, the same inhibitory pathways targeted by many sleep-promoting medications.⁵ These effects support its traditional use as a sedative and align with emerging data showing increased melatonin release in the presence of floral volatiles.⁶

FAQ

  • Nidra was formulated specifically to support sleep. Its hero ingredient, jasmine essential oil, has been shown in research to act on GABA receptors (the same calming pathways targeted by many sleep aids) and to support natural melatonin release. The scent encourages delta brainwave activity, associated with deep restorative sleep.

  • Light Nidra about 30–60 minutes before bed and let it burn for at least two hours during your wind-down. This gives the scent time to circulate and gives your nervous system time to associate it with rest. Always extinguish the candle before falling asleep.

  • Yes, and we encourage it. Nidra works best as a nightly ritual: the more consistently you light it during your wind-down, the more powerfully your brain associates the scent with sleep (a phenomenon called scent-state conditioning)
