12 Plants For Your Bedroom That Will Improve Sleep Quality And Treat Insomnia

If you have spent numerous nights sleepless, you already know their effects on your mood, energy, productivity, and health.  The lack of sleep can most often be a result of anxiety, stress, and poor air quality from pollution, odors, and molds which impact our breathing.

EarthEasy reports:

“The indoor pollutants that affect health are formaldehyde, Volatile Organic Compounds (benzene and trichloroethylene or TCE), airborne biological pollutants, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides, pesticides and disinfectants (phenols), and radon. These pollutants contribute to ‘sick building syndrome’, which causes symptoms ranging from allergies, headaches, and fatigue through to nervous-system disorders, cancer, and death.”

One of the best natural ways to improve the quality of your sleep is to fill the home with flowers and plants, as they have powerful relaxing and purifying benefits.

According to Time:

“Plants are indispensable to human life. Through photosynthesis, they convert the carbon dioxide we exhale into fresh oxygen, and they can also remove toxins from the air we breathe.

One famous NASA experiment, published in 1989, found that indoor plants can scrub the air of cancer-causing volatile organic compounds like formaldehyde and benzene. (Those NASA researchers were looking for ways to effectively detoxify the air of space station environments.) Later research has found that soil microorganisms in potted plants also play a part in cleaning indoor air.

Based on this research, some scientists say house plants are effective natural air purifiers. And the bigger and leafier the plant, the better. “The amount of leaf surface area influences the rate of air purification,” says Bill Wolverton, a former NASA research scientist who conducted that 1989 plant study.”

Therefore, even NASA proved it- and the following list contains the most potent plants in improving your sleeping pattern by lowering stress and purifying the air:
