These are some of the best bedroom plants for better sleep quality
Jasmine
Jasmine is an attractive, fragrant plant, but it is also much more than that. According to a study by German experts, the scent of jasmine improves the quality of your sleep and increases your chances of waking up in a good state and without feelings of restlessness. It has been scientifically proven that jasmine is a natural antidepressant that helps deal with sleep problems. Its beneficial effects include improving sleep quality and reducing anxiety. It also acts as an aphrodisiac due to its linalool content. In addition, the flower will give a new look to the bedroom interior. The white jasmine (Jasminum Polyanthum) in particular, does not always bloom, but it is easy on the eyes and has that irresistible healing scent.

Lavender
Lavender is one of the most widely used plants by man. Used for its fragrance in the cosmetics industry, it is also known as a cleaning agent, as it is an ingredient in many cleaning products. Among its many uses, however, its action as a cure for insomnia and anxiety stands out. Studies on the effects of the plant have shown that inhalation with lavender even enhances this anti-stress effect and acts as a sleeping aid. Lavender has been shown to reduce blood pressure and heart palpitations. If you place some lavender next to your bed, you will be able to inhale this soothing aroma and sleep more soundly. Growing your own lavender plant is also an option if you love to garden!

Aloe Vera
Since ancient times, the aloe vera plant has been known for its ability to relieve burns and rashes, but it also has another secret property: it improves air quality. It releases oxygen at night instead of during the day, purifying the air and helping you sleep well. This houseplant is a great gift for new homeowners.

English Ivy
We see this plant curling up the walls of old houses rather than in our modern homes. Ivy seems a bit of an odd choice for indoor viewing, but you have plenty of reason to put it in your bedroom. It reduces moisture in the air in just a few hours, which is very helpful for allergy sufferers, and it helps with a good night’s sleep. Easy to grow, it requires moderate exposure to sunlight.

Gerbera (Transvaal Daisy)
Gerbera brings color during the day, and at night it releases oxygen and absorbs toxins and carbon dioxide from the air. This flower has long been recommended for people who suffer from sleep apnea and allergies. Although gerberas require much more care than the other plants recommended here, for their benefits they are well worth it. Gerberas are also pet-friendly plants, so you don’t have to worry about your furry friends!
