A good night's sleep is essential for a productive day ahead. From taking warm baths to reading books before bedtime, there are several ways people try to improve their sleep quality. However, a recent study has suggested that the smell of Coriander can help in improving the first stage of Rapid Eye Movement (REM) and act as an effective sleep aid.

The study involved participants who had trouble sleeping and were exposed to the aroma of coriander while sleeping. The results showed an improvement in their sleep patterns as they spent more time in the first stage of REM after smelling coriander compared to those who did not have any exposure to it. This finding suggests that coriander's scent may act as a natural sedative and can be used as an alternative treatment for insomnia.
