Many try various medicines, meditation, relaxation techniques, banana teas, better mattresses and a number of other ways to achieve higher-quality night sleep.
Unfortunately, it often happens that only a few people are ultimately successful in their efforts.
However, there is one more method to achieve this goal that you probably haven’t tried yet.

One study conducted by the American space agency NASA showed that there are plants that have calming effects on the body and cleansing effects on the environment.
Many illnesses, including poor sleep, are caused by mold and other impurities that are present in the air.
If you place suitable flowers and plants in the bedroom, you can purify the air and solve many problems that may have troubled you for years.

1. English ivy (Climbing ivy)
This is a classic and easy-to-grow plant that NASA lists as having the strongest effect. It is especially beneficial in cases of asthma and breathing difficulties.
In addition, it reduces mold concentration by up to 94%.
Since contaminants in the air are a main cause of asthma, allergies and other breathing problems, ivy will not only improve the quality of your sleep but also help address these conditions.

Its presence in the room reduces stress, improves sleep, helps with a weak heartbeat and even reduces fussiness in small children.
