Get Your Beauty Sleep!

The last few nights, I've been going to bed after midnight.  That is so not good for me.  I typically require 8 hours every night.  Going to bed at 12:00 a.m. and waking up at 7:00 a.m. doesn't work. 

Did you know that there are optimal bedtimes?  That means that going to bed at a certain time, aligns with your body's internal clock.  In other words, going to bed at 1:00 a.m. and getting up at 8:00 a.m., isn't as beneficial as going to bed earlier, and; getting the same seven hours you need.

If you don't get enough sleep, it may increase the hormone Cortisol.  Cortisol is a sly little bugger that can break down tissue.  That leaves you with sagging skin, lines, and wrinkles.  Not to mention over time, lack of sleep can cause depression and affect your memory. Ouch!

Wow!  Okay, you had me at "wrinkles".  Tonight, I'm going to bed on time.  I can't wait; I'm exhausted!
