The Crystals That’ll Put You Straight To Sleep (In A Good Way)

If you’re finding it tough to go to sleep right now—or you can fall asleep but then you wake right up again at 3 a.m. with one of those weird, vivid, you’re-back-in-high-school-math-class-in-your-underwear-with-your-teeth-falling-out dreams—well, you’re def not alone. We’re all pretty stressed and our sleep habits are *showing it*. Well, could I recommend a crystal?

Stay with me: Crystal lovers (raises hand) say these sparkly friends vibrate with their own specific energies, which can sync with our own and create a ~wavelength~ channelling specific benefits. And there are crystals that vibrate at juuust the right levels to help restore a peaceful night’s zzz’s.

Once you’ve chosen a crystal with qualities that sound like the kind of Nyquil you need in your life, keep it close to you as you get ready to snooze—stick it on your bedside table, put it under your pillow, even tuck it in next to you. To get drowsy before bed, try holding it in your hands and turning it over, touching it as you visualise the sleepy energy transferring to you—just imagine the ripple of those soothing, tranquil vibes carrying you away to ~dreamland~.
