I bought a diffuser to try this out: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BMVCBDD?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 - it has a timer, and also has lights but you're supposed to be able to turn off the lights feature - the last thing I want while trying to sleep is more light! And I got some pine essential oil. Hopefully it'll be fine, I avoid artificial scents. I'll have to figure out how to use the diffuser, it sounds simple, but I often get stumped by the simplest things!
I don't really have brain fog, but my memory is just not very good, though it never has been that good. Anyways, we'll see - I can't help but think about the study linked in this thread about the scent of menthol improving cognitive functioning in mice models with Alzheimer's: https://forums.phoenixrising.me/thr...ies-of-menthol-inhalation-casares-4-23.90048/
