Restore by Night Plants

Restore by Night Plants

Our Restore section is based on Attention Restoration Theory and evolutionary psychology.

These plants are selected based on their ability to produce oxygen at night, and on the strength of their environmental cues (eg. pattern distribution, foliage quality, and colour).

The former encourage sleep at night and alertness during the day; the latter improve our ability to focus on work and everyday tasks. Learn more about sleep and circadians rythms. Read More

 Sleep and Circadian Rhythms

On some level, we all know that being in nature is calming. The other side of Restore is about helping our bodies maintain their natural rhythms.

Plants have internal cellular clocks, just like we do. We know this because when plants are deprived of light and other queues pertaining to the natural environment, they continue to behave according to the rhythms of the day.

Some plants respond to the time of day more emphatically than others. Calatheas are a particularly good example: at night, the leaves of Calatheas close shut and the plant releases higher levels of oxygen (making it a Breathe/Restore double whammy).

Research in this area is in its infancy, but at least one study has found empirical support for the theory: A paper published in the Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry found that indoor plants improved the quality of sleep and cognition in Alzheimer’s patients, whilst reducing agitation.

This may be related to the shared circadian nature of plants and humans, the calming effect that plants have, or another unknown property. But, if you want a good night’s sleep, testing the theory yourself couldn’t hurt!
