Did you know that a whopping 70 million people have difficulty falling asleep in this country? That is according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention. If you are having difficulty falling asleep, it can take a toll on your overall well-being.
Sleep depreviation can lead to not being able to perform well at your work or studies. You may have difficulty concentrating, focusing and remembering things. It can also make you feel frustrated, cranky, worried, irritable, depressed, anxious, or stressed.
A practical solution that can help you sleep better is to bring in houseplants to your bedroom. Scientists discovered that plants can calm down your stress hormones, allow you to fall asleep faster, and keep you sleeping soundly with fewer wake-ups in the night. The result would be getting a more restful sleep and waking up refreshed. Plants naturally release moisture into the air and increase humidity. Increased humidity is great from preventing congestion and drying of throat and skin. NASA performed a study of houseplants and found that some houseplants actually remove harmful toxins such as formaldehyde, benzene, trichloroethylene, xylene and ammonia out of the air, making it cleaner and easier for us to breathe. Some studies have found that houseplants release negative ions that trigger the release of serotonin, which is known to relieve stress and anxiety. So not only will you sleep better, you will wake up happier too. The addition of houseplants to your bedroom creates a calming and relaxing atmosphere, making it easier to drift to sleep. This promotes a deeper sleep, increasing productivity and general wellbeing. Here are some of the houseplants that can help you sleep better. 1) Jasmine plant. A study by Wheeling Jesuit University found that the scent of jasmine led to greater sleep efficiency and reduced sleep movement. The study also found that when the participants woke from sleep, those who breathed jasmine rated their level of anxiety and vigor lower and performed cognitive tests more rapidly. Researchers in Germany also found that a jasmine fragrance acted like a sleeping pill or mood enhancer. Simply breathing in a nose full of jasmine plant could have a very calming, sedative effect. A study at the University of West Virginia, USA, scientists found that people who slept in a room scented with jasmine appeared to sleep more peacefully than their counterparts who slept in a room with no scent at all. Interestingly, the jasmine group also performed higher on a test of mental function when they woke up. 2) Spider Plant – Having spider plants around the house, and particularly in the bedroom, can actually help reduce headaches. One of the biggest spider plant benefits is its ability to remove harmful chemicals like formaldehyde, benzene, carbon monoxide and xylen from the air, which can help you wake up feeling clearer headed and more rested. Spider plants are low maintenance plants as they need next to no attention from you. 3) Lavender – Indoor lavender plant is scientifically proven to be one of the best plants that help you sleep. Scientists at the University of Southampton conducted a study by having one group of people to sleep in a room with lavender oil, and another placebo group with no scent. Participants ranked the quality of their sleep 20% better on average in the lavender-scented room. In a separate study, researchers found that lavender improved slow-wave sleep, the deep sleep stage in which the heartbeat slows and muscles relax. Try to bring these houseplants into your bedroom.
