Which Crystals Can Help With Insomnia?

Sharing is caring!

On the JJ Barnes Blog, as part of my constant quest for better sleep, I check out tips from Brett Larkin, a crystal expert at Tiny Rituals, for which crystals can help with insomnia.

In my well documented struggles with sleep, I’m always on the lookout for tips to help me. Since I opened my shop, and I’m selling, amongst other things, crystals, Brett Larkin, a crystal expert at Tiny Rituals sent over some times for how those crystals could actually be the solution to my problem!

And it’s not just me who struggles. 1 in 5 adults across the US struggle to sleep every single night (22%), and half of adults in the US experience insomnia once a month or more (50%). Plus, 43 percent of American’s have reported that they’ve been kept awake at night because of stress, something I am definitely familiar with.

According to Brett Larkin at Tiny Rituals, getting a good night’s sleep is much easier if we have an abundance of positive energy surrounding us to help combat that stress, so he sent over details about which crystals can help with insomnia, and why.

Crystals Help With Insomnia

Sleep is a vital time for our body to rest and for our cells to heal and rejuvenate. Good sleep helps us to be productive, it boosts our metabolism, and it helps our immune system to stand up the challenge and thrive.  

Healing crystals can help us to find that place of rich and rewarding slumber. There are several crystals that will help to soothe anxieties and clear the mind, granting us that mental space we need to let go of our worries and to find that mental space of rest.  

By placing one of these rocks beneath your pillow or on your person, you could clear out negative energy and finally get the solid sleep you need.
