Amethyst is the stone most people keep by the bed, soft violet and said to quiet a busy mind. Howlite is slow and unhurried, angelite gentle and light, and moonstone is linked to the moon and the rhythm of rest.

Questions people ask
Which crystal is best for sleep?
Amethyst is the one most people keep by the bed. Howlite is gentler still, and moonstone is lovely if your sleep follows the moon. Our guide to crystals for sleep goes into more detail.
Where should I put a crystal for sleep?
On your bedside table, under your pillow if it's small and smooth, or in your hand as you wind down. Keep brighter, energising stones like carnelian out of the bedroom.
Can crystals help with insomnia?
Many people find a bedtime ritual with a stone comforting, but crystals aren't a treatment. If poor sleep is affecting your daily life, please speak to your GP.
How do I cleanse my crystals?
Every so often, especially if you use them a lot. Our guide to cleansing crystals walks through the simple ways.
