Are you tired of trying a million products, home remedies, regimens, diets, workouts and more to stay fit and look beautiful?
Well, here’s why your hard work and money (because let’s face it, looking good is expensive) may be going to waste.
You’re not sleeping enough! So, let’s breakdown 8 ways in which you can benefit from sleeping the full cycle of 8 hours:
1. Get that glow by sleeping moreWho knew all you needed to get glowing radiant skin was a good night’s sleep?
It’s true, because sleep time is like spa time for your body as the blood flow circulates to your skin giving you that oh-so fresh look.
2. More wrinkles on the sheet, less on the streetsYour body produces collagen while you sleep, which is responsible for keeping your skin looking young.
It maintains the elasticity of your skin, fighting signs of aging like sagging and wrinkles.
3. Get some shut-eye to brighten your eyesWho needs sparkly eyeshadow to brighten the eyes when you can just hit the sack and wake up with big, bright peepers?
Sleep deprivation causes your eyelids to puff up making your eyes look tiny and pinched in. Not so glamorous in our opinion.
4. Put off the lights to avoid putting on weightSleeping less is directly linked to eating more! Did you know that when you skip on sleep, your cravings to binge on fatty sugary food spike?
Lack of sleep also messes with your metabolism, slowing it down, making it harder for you to burn calories.
5. Sleep your dark circles away Tired of concealing the dark skin under your eyes? It’s a clear sign that you need to take back sleep and move to a proper sleep schedule.
Your skin renews itself and works to get rid of dead skin cells and impurities when you sleep. So, don’t conceal the dark circles, heal them with the magic of sleep.
6. Hit the bed to hit the gymSleep deprivation causes tiredness and exhaustion that drains you of the energy to workout.
Not only does it reduce your ability and quality of exercising, it also weakens your will to sweat it out with a workout.
7. More you sleep, more you smileNothing makes you look as lively and cheerful as a lovely smile! Sleeping less make you more irritable, groggy and upset.
This makes you smile less often which means your pearly whites and their charm are going to waste.
8. Fuller hair with sleep careAre you surprised? Very few people know that sleep deprivation causes hair fall as it deprives your hair of the nutrients it needs to be healthy and shiny.
It also spikes Cortisol, the hormone that causes stress which in turn makes your locks prone to breakage, damage and dullness.
So, if you’re convinced already put that face mask aside, grab a sleeping mask and #TakeBackSleep.
