What is the most desirable thing for humanity since the day of its creation? Of course, eternal youth, and it can be prolonged by … sleep. Sleep is not only vital, it is also the most effective and completely free way to preserve beauty. It is during sleep that active cell renewal and tissue repair take place. Scientists have found that sleep for a person is fundamentally important. Its systematic reduction can lead to a nervous system disorder. Moreover, the quality and quantity of sleep directly affects the appearance.
Sleep is associated with the production of the hormone melatonin, which indicates to the body that it needs to rest and sleep. Sleep is of great importance for the body. If you sleep well, the brain rests, improves memory and thinking abilities. If you spent a sleepless night, then the next morning you are irritated, can not concentrate on work, physically feel “out of shape”. During sleep, proteins and hormones are produced that ensure the functioning and protective functions of the body.
How much sleep do I need to get to sleep normally? Some experts say that a person spends a third of his life in a dream, i.e. at least 5-6 hours a day is needed for sleep. However, it is known that Napoleon, Edison, Einstein, Mirabeau, Schiller slept only four hours or less, and Sophia Loren takes nine hours to sleep. Goethe could sleep for 24 hours straight.
Of course, the duration of sleep is an individual indicator. But doctors believe that women aged 20 to 40 years should sleep on average at least 7-8 hours a day. In summer, the duration of sleep decreases, and in winter, the body requires its increase-about an hour and a half. Each person needs their own sleep duration. For some people, a six-hour nap is enough to completely restore their strength. Others feel overwhelmed if they sleep for less than eight hours. What is more important is not the quantity, but the quality of your sleep. If you sleep without waking up, if after sleeping your skin becomes pink and smooth, circles under your eyes disappear, and your body is full of energy and vigor, then your sleep is very high quality. If not, then you should understand what prevents you from sleeping well at night.
In addition to fatigue and poor health, a sleepless night leads to swollen eyelids, pallor and bruises under the eyes, tremor of the hands. Good sleep is the best skin healer. At night, the skin recovers from stress, as its cells are saturated with oxygen. Oxygen-rich cells increase their metabolism, their ability to reproduce and repair, which means healthy and young skin in practice.
Before a night’s rest, at least a ten-minute quiet walk in the fresh air is extremely useful. A warm, but not hot, shared or foot bath will also help. In the water, you can add a few drops of lavender oil or infusions of chamomile, lime blossom, peppermint. For those who face the problem of falling asleep, an intensive massage of the calf muscles with a powerful jet of hot shower will help. But taking a shared shower and rubbing the body before going to bed is not recommended – these invigorating procedures should be saved for the morning.
There is even a special method of rejuvenation in a dream. To do this, you need to mentally imagine yourself 15-20 years younger before going to bed. You can look at your photo of those years, and keep your image in your mind until you fall asleep, and do it every day. The authors of the method claim that positive results will be noticeable in a week! And after two months of daily training, you will look 10 years younger.
Studies show that as a result of lack of sleep in the body, the balance of hormones responsible for the process of burning calories can be disrupted. Experts are unanimous in the opinion that with the help of a diet or exercise without a full sleep, you can not achieve magical results. So get enough sleep, get prettier and get younger!
