This sounds like a great idea!  Won't work for my hubby the way that 
you have it described though.  Let me tell you why and maybe you can 
help me figure out a way to make it work.  Tom has sleep apnea, which 
means that he quits breathing in his sleep.  He is on a cpap machine for
this.  A cpap machine basically blows air into you (you wear a mask and
air comes out of the mask at a constant pressure), you breathe out on your
own.  So, the sachet in the pillow won't work because he won't be able to
smell it.  Maybe I can put the sachet on the filter of his machine.  That
might work.?
Later!,
