Burning down the house

I don't understand the point of the Sleep Well Therapy Candle. Yeah, yeah, I get that it's aromatherapy and it's supposed to help you sleep, but in what alternate universe is it recommended to ignite an open flame and then go to sleep? Back when I was single and still tried to set a mood for romance with lovely little flames, I always made sure to blow them out before falling into the sleep of the (sometimes) satisfied. Even if somewhere in the directions ('cause you can't have anything without directions in case some numskull tries to eat glue or something) it warns you to put it out before you fall asleep, how well can it work if you light it to make you sleepy and then are alert enough to blow it out before Mr. Sandman takes you away?

And I love the disclaimer:

Aromatherapy is not a science.
This is a novelty gift item and must be regarded as such.
Thanks for clearing that up. Wouldn't want anyone to think the candle actually does what it says it will do or anything squirmy like that.
