Sleep and Health
Beauty sleep is no myth. Science backs up the fact that when you don't get adequate sleep, you appear less healthy -- eyes, skin, and hair suffer for a lack of rest.
Beauty Sleep
Of couse we look better when we're rested. During sleep, the body has a chance to shed dead skin cells, repair damage, and make new collagen. This is why so many skin care products are applied at night. They work in conjunction with the body's natural processes.
However, more than looking good, sleep affects our health. Without adequate rest, human beings don't function properly. Poor or inadequate sleep has been directly linked to heart disease, stroke, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and a host of other debillitating health conditions.
Of course, we all have the occasional one-night bout of insomnia. This is nothing to worry about. But if you're routinely sleeping 6 hours a night or less, you're building up a sleep deficit that may likely cause memory problems, weight gain, along with all the the aforementioned health problems. If this is you, it's time to take action before your health really suffers.

Falling Asleep
It's easy enough to say you should get a full night's rest, but what if you can't fall asleep or stay asleep? There are many kinds of medication that will make you go to sleep, but of course there are side effects like brain fog and nausea. For the long term, this does not seem to be the best solution.

Do you struggle with sleep? Share your story . . .
@WendyFinn ahhh, middle age is so nice. I'll take a nap over a night out anytime.
I need no convincing of the advantages of a good sleep. Now if only someone could explain it to my daughter who keeps waking me up! Great article - think I'll have an early night :)
@susanjill I've been thinking about buying one of those mattresses myself once the current one wears out. Thanks so much for your support!
Great article, I personally need my sleep or I get cranky. We bought a temperpedic bed a few years back and it really helped me to sleep soundly. I am also into holistic health and look forward to reading more of your articles.
@mulberry Sorry to hear that. I've had bouts of insomnia and it makes life horrible.
@katiem2 - Yeah, it's rainy here in Richmond. Perfect weather for for sleeping . . . or writing :)
I'm at a stage in life where getting good sleep has become more difficult unfortunately. All suggestions are appreciated! I've learned a great deal about just how important sleep is related to your health. My 84 year old mother has serious sleep problems to the point that she is exhausted all of the time, hallucinating, and so forth.
I adore my sleep and get a good 6 hours every night. I just wanted to check this out to stay up to speed on the healthful benefits of sleep. Its a sleepy cool damp Sunday here in Ohio.
@Meagan - Yes, consistent sleep and wake times are key!
I have struggled with sleep in the past. Then I learned that early to bed and consistent sleeping hours was the key - so long as I stick with this formula I generally do ok!
