What's That Rash? · What has your nose got to do with sleep? · 18 Aug 2026 podcast

It has to be strong odors and you have to not know what it is before you smell it.

It's gotta be a surprise.

It's gonna be a surprise.

So what he's got is a collection of little vials next to his bed.

Vial vials.

So one has gnoc mom, which like you know, a fish sauce, lavender is one, aftershave, vinegar, cloves, and then has them randomly next to the bed, waking up in the night, feeling anxious, getting in that loop, can't break out of it.

Pick a vial at random, copper sniff, put the loop back on, go back to sleep again.

So interesting.

And there's even been research that's tried to look at kind of using the power of smell to do things like treat addiction.

Well yeah, so they they gave people the smell of cigarettes together with the smell of either rotten eggs or fish as people were sleeping.

The idea that our brains are more malleable in sleep.
