I love the smell of hops. And yes , people have put hop filled sachets in their pillow cases for centuries to help them relax and sleep.
A lot of people don't know that in addition to bittering and adding flavor and aroma to beer , hops are also a preservative. That's one of the reasons beer that would be shipped on long voyages was made with lots of hops. example , India Pale Ale. It had to survive the trip to India from england and so they hopped the daylights out of it.
