Sleeping beauty

I read in an article, that beauty sleep is important. We hear it from our mothers, but do you know the exact reason behind having your 8 hours sleep? To keep it simple:

• Beauty sleep takes effect when your muscles and digestive system rest.
• your blood cells supply nutrients
  
  to skin cells better when you are asleep.
  
• No beauty cream, no facials, no amount of makeup can give you the glow, fresh and relaxed look that a sound sleep provides.
• Lack of sleep will cause wrinkles, aging and drier skin.
  
• Your skin renews itself as you sleep which is why too little sleep can make your skin look tired and dull.
  

Sleeping tips for beauty queens:

• Minimize noise and light from your bedroom.
  
• Add a tablespoon of honey to a glass of warm milk and drink it before bedtime.
• Take a walk before retiring to bed. A 15 - 20 minute slow stroll is best.
• Keep the room at a comfortable temperature.
• Try natural-fill pillows such as feather.
• Refrain from caffeine products. (coffee, coke, etc

DON'T:

• Do heavy exercise before going to bed.
  
• Eat too much carbohydrates like breads or noodles, especially for supper (you shouldn't even be having supper). Refrain from sugar and excess caffeine and follow a healthy eating diet.
• Go to bed hungry or overly full.
