There’s nothing more important than enjoying good quality restorative sleep on a regular basis. Rest is absolutely essential for our mental and emotional health and wellbeing, and you can tell very quickly if you haven’t been getting the sleep that you need.
Lack of sleep or poor quality sleep can leave you feeling irritable, under the weather, confused and unmotivated… and it can even increase your risk of developing all sorts of health conditions, everything from depression and anxiety to obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and so on.
As such, it’s vital that you do all you can to promote a good night’s sleep to help protect your health and keep you fighting fit no matter what.
Sleep hygiene is a relatively new concept that involves actions like staying off screens for two hours before bed, getting into a proper bedtime routine, drinking a hot drink before bedtime, reading a book and having a hot bath… but you could also do a lot to increase your chances of getting a good night’s sleep by starting a crystals collection in the bedroom.
Amethyst is one of the best stones to consider introducing in this part of the house, renowned for its healing properties.
It’s also known as the all-purpose stone and it’s thought to have excellent protective qualities that can help you with everything from stress and anxiety to fatigue, so it’s ideal for use in your sleeping quarters. Put it next to your bed or under your pillow and see if it can help improve your sleep quality.
Another alternative (or an as-well-as) is blue calcite, which people often turn to if they want to create a calm and peaceful atmosphere at home… which is absolutely perfect for the bedroom, of course!

Or what about moonstone as another option? This is the stone for new beginnings, so a great choice to lull you to sleep and encourage restorative dreams. Who knows how you might feel upon waking?
