So two hours of keeping your nose busy while sleeping is needed. Alternative sources of smells might not be P&G. Perhaps a sleeping partner with digestive issues or poor oral hygiene. Maybe garlic under the pillow will have the double benefit of also protecting against vampires?

The authors did many tests to find a difference between the active and control groups. The major finding on one cognitive test was that in a short six months more than half the control group got much worse than their baseline test.

The authors fail to explain why the control group rapidly deteriorated. Perhaps their control odors were cognitive poisons? Interestingly the authors state they are not making their specific data available to other researchers. Hmm.
