5 plants to keep in your bedroom to help drift off fast

Numerous studies have revealed that the presence of plants in a bedroom, can create many sleep-inducing benefits. Firstly, they help lower a person's cortisol levels, otherwise known as the stress hormone, by releasing oxygen at night, which helps clear the mind and helps to relax the body.

In addition, plants also help in improving the ventilation as well as humidity of a room, thus making it easier for a person to breathe at night and therefore, drift off.

This process means that you would breathe fresher air the more plants that you have in your bedroom.
