THE BENEFITS OF BEAUTY SLEEP
Consistent quality sleep offers numerous health benefits. A night of rest leaves the body feeling refreshed and energized and can positively impact a person’s mood. Another widely believed benefit is that sleep contributes to a person’s attractiveness or beauty. Hence the phrase “beauty sleep”
THE SCIENCE BEHIND “Beauty Sleep”
Sleep plays a key role in maintaining and repairing the entire body, from the brain and immune system to metabolism and even the skin . Many restorative processes occur during sleep.
THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF BEAUTY SLEEP
During sleep, the body goes through a number of repairing and restoring processes. Some of these processes influence elements of a person’s physical appearance, including the skin and hair. Getting sufficient sleep each night may lead to desirable effects in these areas
Sufficient sleep means at least 8 hours for an adult.
BEEFITS INCLUDE;
• REDUCTION OF WRINKLES
One potential benefit of beauty sleep may be a reduction in wrinkles. The skin is made up of several proteins, such as collagen and elastin, that make the skin elastic and flexible. Research suggests that without sufficient sleep the immune system is weakened, which can impact the quality and strength of collagen produced. As a result, the health of the skin decreases, potentially causing wrinkles. Insufficient sleep has been associated with increased wrinkles , crow’s feet, and frown lines.
• ENHANCING COMPLEXION
Regular quality sleep may also play a role in maintaining a clear skin complexion. The circadian rhythm not only regulates the body’s internal clock and tells the body when it is time to sleep, but it also regulates functions of the body’s organs, including the behavior of the skin .
At night, the skin has its highest levels of blood flow, which increases body temperature and helps repair badly damaged skin
• REDUCING DARK CIRCLES
Dark circles under the eyes often signal sleep deprivation and fatigue. Adequate sleep would prevent dark circles
• STRENGTHENING HAIR
Insufficient sleep may negatively impact hair look and strength. Poor sleeping habits can place high levels of stress on the body, leading to the release of the stress hormone cortisol but adequate sleep would promote hair growth and strength
• FASTER - HEALING SKIN
"Beauty sleep" is real. Your skin uses sleep hours to heal itself from the day's damage. When you drift off, your skin gets the chance to improve. That's why you may wake up looking fresh and rosy.
• Even Skin Tone
Pulling an all-nighter can make your skin look more pale or blotchy. Sleep encourages healthy blood flow to your skin
