You might get on with lavender or chamomile, you know, Kate.

Yeah. You can get it from Boots dead cheap.
I'm actually kinda funny about the smell of lavender but it has its uses when it comes to relaxation and helping people just sleep better. There are other essential oils that fit that bill but lavender is a classic one.
