Need some help falling and staying asleep? Did you know some crystals help you catch up on your sleep? There are indeed crystals out there that can help you. Take a look at these crystals for sleep.
But before we dive into the list of crystals that aid sleep, I recommend scoping out your bedroom for these crystals that could be disrupting your sleep. Like there are crystals for sleeping, some disrupt sleep due to their highly energizing energy.
In this article, we’ll explore how crystals can aid you, which crystals for sleep you should use, and how to use them.
Crystals Are…
Let’s briefly talk about the science behind crystals. In simple terms, crystals are solid matter made up of atoms in a specific pattern called molecular makeup. Every type of crystal will have a different pattern. This is why some certain crystals have a particular characteristic.
Due to various crystal molecular makeups, it is safe to say they will vary in energy. If you want to read more about the science behind crystals and how to use them, click here.
Also, be careful where you get your crystals. Do not just buy them from any seller. You could purchase a fake or incorrect crystal if you are not careful. An incorrect crystal could be a crystal that has been dyed or modified to resemble another one. This can happen with the rarer pricier ones. Don’t try to skimp on price and buy from reliable crystal shops.
Before Using Crystals for Sleep
There are several things to consider before using your crystals for sleep. Crystals do not have an infinite source of energy. Due to this, recharge crystals once a month- depending on how frequently the crystal is being used. It would be best if you always cleansed new crystals before using them.
Cleansing and Charging
Make sure to cleanse your crystals before use. Especially if you just bought it. You don’t know what type of energies could be attached to your crystal. Then, charge your crystal. These two steps are non-negotiable if you want to use them to their max capability.

Where To Put You Sleep Crystal
The location of your crystals matters. So, try these locations unless otherwise specified:
- Under your pillow
- Under your bed
- On your nightstand
- On you (although I don’t recommend wearing them as a necklace)
If you wear your sleep crystal to sleep, I recommend reading this crystal jewelry guide to help you understand where to place the crystal on you to receive the best benefits.
Some crystals need to be placed in a specific way to unlock certain capabilities. The sleep crystals mentioned below will specify if they need to be placed in a certain way to unlock a particular ability.
Set An Intention
The intention isn’t just for the crystal but also for you. By setting the intention, you are putting what you want to receive into the atmosphere. The crystal doesn’t just taper the energies it puts out; you are being conscious of how you are using the power.
Make sure the crystal energy matches your intentions. If the crystal is being used as your sleep crystal, then make your intention that the crystal’s energy will lull you to sleep. The intention aligns with the crystals’ ability.
