The Best Crystals for Insomnia

Insomnia is a sleep disorder defined as a difficulty falling asleep or sleeping long enough. The main causes of insomnia in adults are stress, anxiety and depression. Insomnia is estimated to affect between 15 and 20% of the population. It is therefore a very widespread problem, with direct consequences for people’s health.

In this article, we list the different crystals and stones to use to fight insomnia. These minerals are known for their positive effects on sleep and for their ability to soothe what causes insomnia. The two most effective, which we recommend to anyone who has trouble falling asleep, are amethyst and rose quartz.

The best crystals for insomnia

Amethyst

To fight insomnia, use amethyst. At night, carry an amethyst on you or place one under your pillow.

Before falling asleep, you can hold your amethyst in your hand and let it bring on a feeling of relaxation. You can, for example, picture yourself at the center of a giant amethyst geode to strengthen your focus on the stone’s power.

Rose Quartz

If you wish, place a rose quartz near your bed, or under your pillow.

Sapphire

Under your pillow, you can also place a sapphire.

Malachite

Malachite can also help with insomnia: hold it in your hand for an hour before going to bed.

Blue Calcite

To regulate insomnia caused by nighttime overactivity, place a rough blue calcite (around 500 grams) or a polished blue calcite (around 150 to 200 grams) under your pillow. If you wake up, take it in your hand until sleep returns.

If the stone’s presence bothers you during the night, put it on your nightstand. Remember to let your crystal soak in a bowl of clear water during the day.
