Now It's Scientifically Proven: Why You Should Put Lemon Slices Next to Your Bed

Researchers at the University of Maryland investigating the effect of inhaling lemon during sleep on headaches have reached significant conclusions: "We found that people who inhaled the scent of lemon experienced less anxiety and fear compared to others," say the researchers. "There's no doubt it also significantly helped in reducing headaches and migraines."

According to them, "The study indicates that ants and mosquitoes dislike the scent of lemon and other citrus. Rubbing lemon peels on the skin or even placing them near your pillow can protect you from mosquito and bug bites."
