Best Crystals for the Bedroom

A good night's sleep is crucial for our health, mood, and overall well-being. Incorporating crystals into your bedroom can create an environment of peace and relaxation, promoting better sleep. But not all crystals are ideal for the bedroom environment.

The way each of us responds to crystals within our bedroom can be as unique as we are... and also depends on our intentions for what type of energy we wish to enhance or inspire. Therefore, you may wish to experiment with different types of crystals to place near your bed, or around your bedroom, to see how it makes you feel and sleep. Trust your own experience above all, and if something does not feel good or work as intended, remove the crystals from the area and see if it changes your experience the following night.

Some people enjoy having crystals to enhance dreaming, peaceful sleep, protection or some people may also want crystals to help with reducing nightmares. Others may wish to encourage more passion and sensuality in their bedroom, so as you can see - depending on your intentions, you may desire to choose different crystals to suit your purpose!

Here are our top picks for crystals to choose for your bedroom, and which ones to avoid...

Calming Crystals for the Bedroom

Let's explore some of the best calming crystals for your bedside...

Is Rose Quartz ok to put in my bedroom?

Rose Quartz, often called the "love stone," is a gentle pink crystal that radiates unconditional love and emotional healing. Its calming energy helps to nurture feelings of peace and security, making it an ideal companion for a restful night. By placing a piece of rose quartz on your bedside table or under your pillow, you invite soothing vibrations of Unconditional Love that encourage relaxation and self-acceptance, allowing you to drift off into a deeper sleep.

How can Amethyst help to get a better night's sleep?

Amethyst is the purple variety of Quartz known for its serene energy, which acts like a tranquilizer for the mind. It can help quiet racing thoughts and reduce anxiety before bedtime, helping you to drop off into dreamland. Ideal for keeping on your nightstand or tucked under your pillow, Amethyst also enhances Spiritual Protection, as well as Divine Guidance and Spiritual Connection, and may assist you to reduce nightmares or bad dreams, and increase the likelihood of experiencing prophetic or visionary type dreams.

What benefits does Blue Lace Agate have for sleep quality?

Blue Lace Agate is a gentle pale blue stone with white banding that promotes tranquility and calm. Its soothing properties reduce stress and mental chatter, making it easier to fall asleep peacefully. Placing this crystal near your sleeping area encourages deep, undisturbed slumber by fostering an atmosphere free of tension. For increased effectiveness, try placing a Blue Lace Agate crystal on your third eye area prior to sleep, to help the thoughts of the day dissipate with ease.

How does Howlite help you sleep?

Howlite is a white crystal marked with black or grey veins, that possesses powerful calming properties. Renowned for its ability to help transmute anger and anxiety, Howlite promotes awareness and restful sleep by quieting the mind. Keeping Howlite close at hand may assist in alleviating insomnia and creating a more peaceful sleeping experience.

Does Selenite help with sleep?

Selenite is a pure white crystal celebrated for its ability to clear energy blockages and foster serenity within any space. As a high vibrational crystal, Selenite can help to connect with higher spiritual realms, activating the crown chakra. For some people, Selenite may not be a good crystal to have in the bedroom as it may create an overactivity of spiritual energy that is too stimulating for some people to get a restful night's sleep. However, others find having selenite near the bed can also assist with spiritual protection and energy clearing during sleep. This is one crystal you will need to experiment with to see how you respond!

How does Lepidolite promote restful sleep?

Lepidolite features a rich purple hue infused with lithium that makes it highly revered in the world of crystal healing for its calming and gentle energies. This powerful stone guards against nightmares and may assist in reducing symptoms of insomnia. Keeping Lepidolite nearby creates an inviting atmosphere for restorative rest, as its relaxing energy assists the mind, body and spirit to decompress and gently transition into the dream realms.

Crystals for Sweet Dreams

Certain crystals are particularly effective at promoting beautiful dreams, lucid dreaming, restful sleep, and spiritual awareness:

Can Celestite enhance dreams?

Celestite is a soft sky blue stone, which holds a high vibration of angelic realms and is a gemstone for tranquility. Celestite may help to quieten the mind before bed. As a powerful gemstone for spiritual awareness and psychic development, Celestite invites blissful dreams filled with deep meaning, enhancing your connection to your subconscious during the night. Place Celestite near your bedside and enjoy its tranquil energy as you prepare for sleep.

Experiment with Prehnite for lucid dreaming

Prehnite is a beautiful lime-green translucent gemstone that is known for its soothing and healing properties. Prehnite is sometimes called a "stone for dreaming". Pop a piece of Prehnite under your pillow with the intention that it will help you to bring conscious awareness to your dreamstate, and it may even help you to have prophetic dreams about events that have not yet happened. Keep a dream journal next to your bed to record your visions from your dreams as soon as you wake up!

Use Blue Kyanite for dream recall

Blue Kyanite is often promoted for its properties of clearing and aligning one's energy to their Spiritual Truth, raising one's vibration and attuning you to higher consciousness. Blue Kyanite is also known for its ability to assist with dream recall, as well as fostering a strong connection to the spiritual and dream realms in a conscious way to promote lucid dreaming and to align your subtle energies to your physical body, promoting downloads of higher conscious energy whilst you sleep.

How does Moonstone enhance dreams?

Moonstone, often associated with the divine feminine, promotes calmness and emotional balance. Its gentle energy fosters intuition and clarity, making it an excellent choice for dream work. Placing moonstone under your pillow or on your nightstand can help you access deeper realms of consciousness during sleep, encouraging vivid dreams and insights from within.

Crystals to Avoid in the Bedroom

While calming crystals enhance the bedroom ambiance, certain gemstones may disrupt your ability to relax due to their energising and stimulating nature:

Can I put Citrine in the bedroom?

Citrine is a golden coloured quartz that is well known for its positive energy that attracts abundance and positivity. However, its high-energy vibrations may be too stimulating when it's time to wind down at night. It’s best suited for living or  workspaces where creativity flourishes rather than being kept in the bedroom.

Is Pyrite too energizing for sleep?

Pyrite has a strong Yang or "masculine" energy that is very activating, and stimulating for the mind. While it's fantastic for helping take action during the day, and will certainly enhance motivation during waking hours, Pyrite is not good for promoting sleep! Keep Pyrite in areas where you seek inspiration. It is best utilised when you wish to enhance your intellect and creativity!

Why is Turquoise not conducive to deep restful sleep?

Turquoise is cherished not only as a protective stone but also as one that enhances creativity and communication. Its stimulating nature means that for some people, it may activate insomnia instead of promoting deep restfulness during sleep; thus, it's best placed in areas where you seek to enhance your creativity rather than relaxation.

What are the reasons Obsidian is not suggested for the bedroom?

Obsidian is known for its grounding capabilities and psychic protection; however, its intense energy can be overwhelming when trying to achieve restfulness. Keeping obsidian out of the bedroom may prevent exacerbating feelings of anxiety or fear at night.

Why avoid Hematite in the bedroom?

Hematite boasts powerful grounding properties but is also very energising. Its stimulating nature might lead to restlessness or difficulty settling down at night. Hematite is fantastic when you need a boost of energy during the day, so maybe better utilised as a crystal to start your day instead!
