Beauty Sleep

Beauty Sleep Sleep is very important -especially important during the holidays when stress levels are higher.

As women we know that a lack of sleep leaves us irritable; however, most of us are unaware of the damage it may be doing to our skin? Besides being an essential component of a healthy lifestyle, getting eight hours of sleep per night helps improve the texture and the luminosity of our skin.

During the night the skin is restored from the harmful effects of daily stress. When we do not get the required sleep our skin suffers. This is especially noticeable in the fragile skin under the eyes.

The under eye area is almost fifty percent thinner than the skin on the face. Sleepless nights leaves behind fine lines, dark circles or puffy bags. Cosmetic treatments can soften the effects of sleep deprivation but preventive medicine is the best cure. Eye treatments are limited in their ability and cannot reverse the stress that a lack of sleep will do to the skin.

Sleep experts say that we need 8 hours of sleep per night. However, the latest research shows that women average 6 hours and forty minutes of sleep during the week and 7 hours on the weekend. Besides the extra work that women have to contend with (helping with homework, laundry, cooking, etc.) and the many concerns that keep them from sleep, women may also be kept awake by - small children who wake during the night,teenagers coming home late, aging parents who get up during the night. What can you do to sleep more peacefully and longer?

Here are some hints:
1. Eliminate noise from your bedroom. Bedroom sounds should be low and consistent. Tryearplugs.
2. Keep your room dark by using dark fabric on your windows. If that is not possible, try eyeshades.
3. The temperature of the room should be cool.
4. A relaxing bath before you go to bed will induce sleep.
5. Set a schedule to arise, no matter what time youwent to bed the night before.
6. Turn your clock so you can't see the time if you wake up in the middle of the night.
7. Keep TV's and computers out of the bedroom,make it a place just for sleep and sex.
8. Get a queen-size mattress if you don't sleepalone. We need room to move.
9. Avoid alcohol before sleeping. While alcohol may help us fall asleep, it will also wake us in the middle of the night.
10. Avoid nicotine before going to bed because it is a stimulant. 11. Don' go to bed hungry or overly full. Have a snack early in the night.
12. Watch your coffee intake. Caffeine from coffee,tea, cola and chocolate can affect you for up to twelve hours.
13. If you fret during the night or if you think of something that you must do the next day, write it down so you can deal with it in the morning.
14. Try natural-fill pillows such as down or feather because they have the most adjustability. If you suffer from back pain, put a pillow between your knees for a more comfortable sleep.

Happy Sleeping!!!!!
