## Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which crystals are best for sleep and deep rest? A: Amethyst is the classic sleep crystal, promoting calm and peaceful dreams. Howlite quiets an overactive mind. Selenite clears the energy field before sleep. Moonstone supports dream recall and intuitive rest, and lepidolite eases anxiety that can interfere with sleep.
Q: Where should I place sleep crystals in my bedroom? A: Place them on your nightstand, under your pillow for smaller tumbled stones, or at the four corners of your bed to create a calming energy field. Avoid placing highly stimulating crystals like citrine or carnelian in the bedroom.
Q: Can crystals help with recurring nightmares? A: Many practitioners use black tourmaline or smoky quartz near the bed for protection during sleep, and amethyst for promoting peaceful, positive dreams.
Q: Is it safe to sleep with crystals under my pillow? A: Yes, for most smooth tumbled stones. Avoid sharp points or fragile pieces that could break. Some people find certain crystals too stimulating for sleep — if you notice disrupted sleep after adding a crystal, simply move it to your nightstand instead.
Q: How do I create a bedtime crystal ritual? A: Before sleep, hold your chosen crystal, take three deep breaths, and set an intention for rest or dream guidance. Place it on your nightstand or under your pillow. In the morning, take a moment to recall any dreams or insights before reaching for your phone.
