Background: Sleep disturbances are common among postpartum mothers due to hormonal changes, physical fatigue, breastfeeding, and emotional adaptation, potentially delaying recovery. Lavender aromatherapy inhalation may improve sleep quality as a complementary non-pharmacological intervention. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a control group design included 42 postpartum mothers selected using consecutive sampling. Participants were assigned to an intervention group (n = 21), receiving lavender aromatherapy inhalation for 15 minutes before bedtime, or a control group (n = 21), receiving routine postpartum care. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and data were analyzed using the Independent Samples t-test. Results: The intervention group showed a lower mean PSQI score than the control group (3.86 ± 1.153 vs. 8.14 ± 2.869), with a significant difference (p = 0.000). Conclusion: Lavender aromatherapy inhalation effectively improved sleep quality and may support postpartum recovery as a complementary intervention.
