Get your beauty sleep

Did you know that the more you sleep, the more attractive you look? Makes you want to sleep more right? So all this talk about beauty sleep is not based on fiction or lazy people who want to justify their slothfulness. there are real scientific findings that support this fact. if all i have to do to look more attractive is sleep, then sleep I will. Sleep is the one thing that enhances beauty without causing any discomfort or pain.

Here are the scientific facts that you did not know about the correlation between sleep and beauty.
  • Sleep gives your skin the opportunity to mend itself of any wear and tear caused during the day. Lack of sleep damages your skin because the eye bags and the dark circles cause your skin to sag
  • Even a tiny ray of light interrupts your sleep cycle, so wear a sleep mask to maintain the cycle. apparently, before the invention of the light bulbs, people slept longer, at least 10 hours.
  • Lack of sleep makes you fat; all those hours of exercise go down the drain. just sleep if you want to speed up your weight loss
  • Lack of sleep speeds up the aging process. Your body needs rest to process the carbs in your body and regulate the levels of your hormones.
  • An increased appetite results from lack of sleep. this increases fats in your body which will accumulate under your skin. The more food you eat, the more food your body has to process and this ages the body faster. 
How can you enhance your sleep cycle?
  • Drink a cup of chamomile tea before sleeping
  • Keep your bedroom, cool, aired, dark and quiet
  • Exercise to relax your muscles
  • Create a bed time routine. Sleep at the same time each day and wake up at the same time. 
there are so many ways of enhancing your sleep that does not involve using sleeping pills. Since sleep stimulates the brain and repairs your skin, for healthy skin, the recommended 8 hours a day should be followed.
