Puffy panda eyes, pale skin, hanging eyelids&#8230;the lack of beauty sleep really isn\u2019t doing any of us justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is it about getting an adequate amount of zzz\u2019s that makes our skin look so much better? And why does sleep deprivation take a toll on how we look (and feel)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe Sleeping Beauty was in on the well-known secret\u2014sleeping is linked to beauty. So take it from her and go get your zzz\u2019s in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-beauty-sleep\">What is \u201cbeauty sleep\u201d?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea of \u201cbeauty sleep\u201d is simple: the habit of sleeping early or getting extra sleep will help you be more rested and potentially look more youthful. It\u2019s all about the link between aging (particularly the skin) and why we feel sleepy. But the truth of the matter is, beauty sleep is nothing more than a good night\u2019s rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The phrase is often linked to women, considering it contributes to aging gracefully. However, it\u2019s neither a female nor a masculine thing. It\u2019s a human thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And as <strong>Dr. Michael Breus<\/strong>, a.k.a. The Sleep Doctor and the trainer of Mindvalley&#8217;s <em>The Mastery of Sleep<\/em> Quest, says, &#8220;<em>What we really know is that productivity, wellness, and health fundamentally cannot be without sleep<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-sleep-affects-your-skin\">How sleep affects your skin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sleep may just well be the closest thing to the fountain of youth\u2014when it comes to your skin, of course. The question is, <em>how<\/em> does it help?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with your body, sleep gives your skin time to repair itself. Here are three main things that happen to your body\u2019s protective layer when you\u2019re off in dreamland:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Blood flow increases<\/strong>, which helps bring nutrients to the epidermis. This also provides you with a healthy glow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Collagen rebuilds<\/strong> as part of the repair process when you sleep. With the new collagen, your skin is firmer and more toned, reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brighter, less puffy eyes<\/strong> happen when you get enough sleep. When you don\u2019t, your eyes get dry and irritated, and this can lead to inflammation and puffiness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So for glowing, radiant skin as you age, it\u2019s always best to get adequate rest for your body to rejuvenate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-benefits-of-beauty-sleep-according-to-science\">5 benefits of beauty sleep, according to science<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bon Jovi has it all wrong when he sings, \u201c<em>I\u2019ll sleep when I\u2019m dead.<\/em>\u201d The notion that \u201csleep is for the weak\u201d does more harm to your body than good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to your skin, research has shown that when a person gets adequate sleep, their skin ages slower than someone who doesn\u2019t. A <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25266053\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2015 study<\/a> in <em>Clinical and Experimental Dermatology<\/em> found that chronic poor sleep quality is linked to increased signs of intrinsic aging, diminished skin barrier function, and lower satisfaction with appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So getting enough shut-eye is essential for your beauty; that\u2019s a fact. There are also other benefits of good sleep for your body. Here\u2019s a list, as per The Sleep Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Keeps your immune system up to par. <\/strong>Getting high-quality beauty sleep regularly can help <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4142016\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reduce inflammation and promote health in aging<\/a>. It lowers your risk for aging-related diseases, such as Alzheimer\u2019s, dementia, heart problems, diabetes, cancer, and so on.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Improves your sex life. <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2019\/09\/05\/health\/sex-drive-desire-satisfaction-sleep-deprivation-wellness\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Studies<\/a> show a link between poor sleep and a lack of sexual desire and satisfaction. When your body doesn\u2019t go into the deeper stages of sleep, it doesn\u2019t get the restorative levels it needs to function well.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Boosts your energy reserves. <\/strong>There are three stages of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) before the rapid eye movement (REM) stage. The third NREM plays a major role in enhancing your body\u2019s ability to make its energy molecule, also known as ATP.<br><br>With beauty sleep, your body passes through the first two NREM stages quickly, allowing you to spend a longer time in the third. This allows you to wake up feeling more refreshed than someone who\u2019s sleep-deprived.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Improves your cognitive performance. <\/strong>When you don\u2019t get enough sleep, a number of cognitive functions diminish, according to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fnsys.2014.00046\/full\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">article<\/a> in <em>Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience<\/em>. This includes attention, language, reasoning, decision-making, learning, and memory.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"5\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Helps you lose weight and keep it off. <\/strong>There\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepfoundation.org\/physical-health\/weight-loss-and-sleep\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">correlation between sleep and weight<\/a>. As the length and quality of your sleep go down, the amount of weight goes up.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Dr. Breus points out, \u201c<em>Most people have never been taught to sleep.<\/em>\u201d But when you understand and learn how to get beauty sleep, you\u2019ll see vast improvements in your overall well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-tips-for-getting-the-best-beauty-sleep-ever\">5 tips for getting the best beauty sleep ever<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to your self-care routine, beauty sleep may just be the closest thing there is to a fountain of youth. Unfortunately, many of us aren\u2019t getting the adequate amount of zzz\u2019s required. And that\u2019s likely to affect our appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what\u2019s the best course of action? Dr. Breus recommends these five sleep tips to age more gracefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-stop-drinking-caffeine-by-2-p-m\">1. Stop drinking caffeine by 2 p.m.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s no secret that Americans consume a lot of caffeine, especially coffee. So much so that a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/coffee-consumption-hits-two-decade-high---spring-2022-national-coffee-data-trends-report-301502866.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2022 trend report<\/a> by the National Coffee Association stated, \u201c<em>66% of Americans now drink coffee each day, more than any other beverage, including tap water.<\/em>\u201d This is an increase of nearly 14% since January 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the consumption of coffee (and other caffeinated beverages, like tea) isn\u2019t necessarily a bad thing, there is a limit to when you should stop drinking it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dr. Breus\u2019 tip: <\/strong>\u201c<em>The half-life of caffeine in your body is between six and eight hours. That means if you consume 100mg of caffeine in the morning, six to eight hours later, you\u2019re still going to have 50mg that\u2019s impacting your system.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So why stop drinking caffeine by 2 p.m.? On average, people go to bed by 10 p.m. And if the half-life of caffeine is six to eight hours, then 2 p.m. is the cut-off time without it affecting your sleeping habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, that\u2019s not set in stone. If bedtime is at an earlier time or later time, adjust the hour accordingly to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/how-to-optimize-sleep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">optimize your sleep<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-give-your-body-enough-time-to-absorb-alcohol-before-going-to-sleep\">2. Give your body enough time to absorb alcohol before going to sleep<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>Alcohol is the number one sleep aid in the world,<\/em>\u201d says The Sleep Doctor. While having a nightcap sounds fantastic, he adds that it deprives you of sleeping like a baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/j2vjt3dnbra3ps7ll1clb4q2-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/sleep-prioritization-survey-2020-drinking-alcohol-past-bedtime-results.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2020 survey<\/a> by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine found that a whopping 68% of Americans have lost sleep due to having a drink past bedtime. This includes one in five Americans reporting that they <em>o<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/is-alcohol-bad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>ften <\/em>lose sleep due to alcohol consumption<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dr. Breus\u2019 tip: <\/strong>\u201c<em>It\u2019s okay to drink alcohol, but the key is timing.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The average person approximately one hour to absorb one alcoholic beverage. So if having a glass of wine is part of your evening routine, then you need to make sure you give your body at least an hour before going to sleep.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-get-some-exercise\">3. Get some exercise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Going to bed at a certain hour is one thing, but the quality of your beauty sleep is another. One thing that can help is working out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is especially useful advice for new parents who often find it difficult to get in that fitness time. But the key is, any exercise will do, just as long as you keep it moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>As little as 20-25 minutes of daily exercise will improve the length and depth of your sleep,<\/em>\u201d says Dr. Breus. However, he adds that if you do so too close to bedtime, it might actually have the opposite of the desired effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dr. Breus\u2019 tip: <\/strong>\u201c<em>A good rule is not to exercise within four hours of your desired bedtime. Otherwise, you may actually find sleep more difficult.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if this is the case, a little <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/sleep-meditation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sleep meditation<\/a> can absolutely help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-don-t-use-your-phone-in-bed\">4. Don\u2019t use your phone in bed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technology has gotten us far, but there\u2019s always a downside to it. Many of us are guilty of using our gadgets before going to bed at night. And there are even some of us that are doing <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/revenge-bedtime-procrastination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">revenge bedtime procrastination<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>Your exposure to light can cause a whole host of sleep problems<\/em>,\u201d Dr. Breus explains. The blue light emitted from the phone or tablet is, what he calls, \u201c<em>caffeine for the brain.<\/em>\u201d And one of the main things it does is suppress melatonin, which helps regulate your sleep cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dr. Breus\u2019 tip:<\/strong> \u201c<em>If you want to develop healthy sleep patterns, it&#8217;s important not to use your phone in bed.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you\u2019re on it even for as little as five minutes, it can have a huge effect on your system. \u201c<em>It\u2019s kind of like taking a shot of caffeine<\/em>\u201d and <em>that<\/em> <em>is definitely not <\/em>what you want to be doing at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-identify-your-chronotype\">5. Identify your chronotype<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>How many hours do you need for beauty sleep?<\/em>\u201d is a frequently asked question. Eight hours per night is a common belief, which The Sleep Doctor says is a myth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>We know that the average sleep cycle is approximately 90 minutes and the average person has five of these cycles,<\/em>\u201d he explains. \u201c<em>If you look closely, you&#8217;ll see that this equation leads to only seven and a half hours of sleep.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, it really depends on your chronotype, the internal rhythms that are biologically set. And each person is one of the four:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dolphin. <\/strong>They often have trouble finding a sleep routine that works for them.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lion. <\/strong>They tend to wake up early.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bear. <\/strong>This is the most common chronotype; their sleep-wake cycle is aligned with the sun.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wolf. <\/strong>They are most energetic in the later parts of the day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dr. Breus\u2019 tip: <\/strong>Identifying your chronotype can give you insight into your sleep and wake cycles, and peak productivity times.
