PLANT POWER
Did you know that having plants in your bedroom can actually help you sleep better? Studies show that the fragrances released by some potted plants, such as lavender and jasmine, are beneficial for settling racing minds, producing better quality sleep. Bedroom plants have also been shown to reduce resting blood pressure, anxiety and background pain, with some studies suggesting they absorb toxins. Snake plants are great at purifying the air, while peace lilies increase the humidity in a room by 5 per cent, making it easier to breathe. Valerian has been shown to induce sleep and improve sleep quality, too.
