At Happsy, we love the great outdoors. In fact, we love the outdoors so much that we're big fans of bringing some of it indoors – with bedroom plants! Plants are the perfect home décor item for creating a more sustainable sleep environment, but they come with added health benefits, too. 
 
If you’ve been holding off on becoming a plant parent, it may be time to reconsider – especially if you’ve experienced sleep troubles. Did you know some plants actually promote better sleep? 
 
That’s right – sustainability and sleep, two of our favorite things. So, what are the best plants for sleep? Keep reading to find out what made the list!

Pencil in your trip to the plant store! Why? Because plants can significantly improve sleep quality through their plant-iful benefits. Certain plants emit calming scents that have been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, leading to better sleep. The presence of greenery and nature can also have a soothing visual effect, promoting tranquility and reducing mental fatigue. 
 
What’s more, bedroom plants improve the air quality in your room by absorbing toxins and releasing oxygen, creating a healthier and more relaxing sleeping environment. Think of your bedroom plants as an extra air filter, helping to make the air you breathe cleaner and fresher. Plants can even increase humidity levels in the room, which is important if you live in a dry climate or have a forced air heating system. Optimal humidity can help prevent dry skin and respiratory issues that might disrupt sleep. 
 
Incorporating plants into your sleep space not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also contributes to creating a more restful and rejuvenating space that’s better for your mind and body – and better for the planet, too. (Choosing the right bedding helps, too!)

Going to a nursery or plant store can be overwhelming. Thankfully, we’ve narrowed down your search for the perfect sleep-promoting plant. And, there’s more good news! Many of the plants on this list require little to no sunlight and take minimal water, making them very low maintenance and ideal starter plants. Boost oxygen levels, improve air quality and breathe in the relaxing scents that are perfect for any bedroom with:

 It’s in the name, right? This peaceful plant is efficient at removing toxins from the air and thrives in low-light conditions, perfect for the bedroom. Additionally, its beautiful white flowers can brighten up any space while contributing to a healthier indoor environment.

In addition to supporting your best night’s rest, houseplants can also alleviate respiratory issues and reduce the risk of airborne illnesses. Studies have shown that the presence of houseplants can lower stress levels, reduce anxiety, enhance mood and improve overall mental health by providing a calming and restorative environment. 
 
Plants can also boost concentration and productivity, making them ideal for home offices and study areas. They may even help you heal faster! Plus, the act of caring for plants promotes mindfulness and a sense of accomplishment and purpose, contributing to your emotional well-being. It’s no secret just how powerful the presence of plants is. 
 
From the calming effects of lavender to the air-purifying prowess of the snake plant, bedroom plants bring unique benefits that promote relaxation, better rest and a healthier you.
