Can I put a plant next to the bed?... 5 plants that promote restful sleep

◆ Lavender

Lavender is said to promote the secretion of neurotransmitters that suppress nerve excitement, inducing drowsiness. Its distinctive scent also slows heart rate, helps relieve stress, and reduces anxiety.

◆ Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera, which Egyptians called the "immortal plant," releases oxygen at night, helping with insomnia and improving sleep quality. It is easy to grow because it does not require much sunlight or water. NASA also selected it as one of the best plants for improving air quality.

◆ Jasmine

Jasmine scent relaxes the body and reduces stress levels. According to related research, when smelling jasmine fragrance, sleep cycles did not change abruptly but remained stable.

◆ Valerian

In our country, the root of valerian, called 'jui-ojum-pul,' has long been used in Europe and the United States as a sleep aid. The root of valerian contains substances that promote the production of the 'melatonin' hormone, which regulates sleep rhythms. There are also over-the-counter sleep aid products made from extracts of valerian root.

◆ Snake Plant

The snake plant absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen at night. It is also known to filter out toxic substances such as formaldehyde and benzene that float in indoor air. It is effective in purifying indoor air and helps with sleep.
