Insomnia is the worst! If you've suffered through it, you know how quickly it can affect your life. 

There are many reasons one might suffer from restless sleeps, insomnia, or even difficulty falling asleep when your head hits the pillow. However, there are many ways to fix this, naturally.

Crystal healing has been used for a variety of physical and metaphysical purposes for centuries. If you are a crystal-lover looking to improve your quality of sleep, we got you!

Here are the best crystals to improve your sleep, tonight:

1. Amethyst

Amethyst is a beautiful crystal known to reduce stress, anxiety, and balance moods. It's soothing energy that can help you fall asleep, but most importantly, stay asleep! 

2. Howlite

Howlite is a marble-looking crystal that provides soothing, gentle energy. If you're having trouble falling asleep because of stress, worries, or anxious energy - howlite can help. Place these little beauties under your pillow and feel the stress melt away. 

3. Rose Quartz 

This universal stone of love should probably be a staple in every collection. It promotes feelings of love, peace, and serenity. Place one rose quartz crystal on your bedside table or under your pillow for a blissful and beautiful rest.

4. Celestite

We all dream, but how often to we actually remember those dreams? Not that often. But, good news if you want to remember those mind-shifting dreams.... celestite can help! This crystal is not only beautiful to look at. Celestite is also known to promote a restful sleep, dream recall, and soothe the soul! 

5. Moonstone 

Do you ever put your head on the pillow and start running through all your to-do lists? All the things you should have done that day but forgot? Ease the tension in your mind with moonstone. Moonstone relaxes the mind, and will help you let go of stress and anxiety, and sleep better at night. 

So now that you know which crystals are good for sleep, you might be wondering... how do I use them?

1. Meditate before bed

A night-time meditation can shift your mindset and slow your thoughts. So, take your crystal and hold it in your non-dominate hand. This is known as you receiving hand. As you close your eyes and focus on your breath, you will receive the soothing (sleep-inducing) energy of the crystal. 

2. Keep a crystal on your bed-side table

Having a crystal on your bedside table will help shift the energy of your room. I love keeping my amethyst incense burner beside my bed, as not only can I clear the energy from the day using incense, but I can also feel the calming energy of the amethyst all night. 

3. Place a crystal under your pillow

Placing a small tumbled stone under your pillow can make all the difference when it comes to getting a good night's rest!  Remember, the size of a crystal doesn't always dictate it's strength!  Place a small stone under your pillow each night before bed, and enjoy!

If you are going through a period of insomnia, you are probably willing to try just about anything to fix it! Crystal healing might be unconventional for some, but for many the shift in energy can make a significant impact!  These 5 crystals can help improve your sleep and catch some Z's!

Sweet dreams!
