Not many people know this, but the way you decorate your bedroom can have a significant impact on the quality of your sleep. Therefore, you always should make sure that plants are present in your bedroom. Which flowers do you think help you sleep better? Let’s find out together!
Snake plant
The snake plant is also known as Mother-in-Law’s Tongue, and is an extremely powerful air purifier. Although most plants release oxygen during the day and rest at night, the snake plant releases oxygen all the time – even when you sleep. It can work wonders for those suffering from insomnia or various respiratory affections.
This plant is also very easy to maintain: it only needs light and water.
Lavender
There is a reason why lavender is included in laundry detergents. Several studies conducted over time show that the purple flower has a relaxing effect. The smell of fresh lavender is much stronger rather than when dry. This fresh and refreshing fragrance will help you to sleep and live better.
Place a lavender flower somewhere in your room, preferably close to your bed. It usually needs plenty of light, so make sure to also place it near a window. During summer, you can leave it on the terrace, and allow it to bathe in the sun.
The peace lily
This plant is also a great natural air purifier. It only needs to be watered once every two weeks, and does not require so much light, which means it is perfect for a bedroom with small windows.
The lily of peace is easy to care for, and you can easily put it in a corner of the room and not have to worry too much about it.
Gardenia
This plant does not have a specific smell, but it has a slightly sedative effect. Gardenia is a little harder to care for, requiring indirect light, as its leaves can dry out if the sun’s light falls directly onto them. Put a gardenia plant in your bedroom if you want to sleep better — you will immediately start noticing the effects.
Aloe Vera
Apart from its famous medicinal uses and healing powers, the plant produces a lot of oxygen during the night, making the air around it fresher and cleaner. It is extremely easy to take care of, thanks to the fact that it requires very little water, as it stores it in its leaves. Just make sure to give it a lot of sunlight and it will rapidly make you feel and sleep much better.
