Recently, research on sleep has been advancing, and it is becoming increasingly clear how important sleep is for human beings.
In this context, it is said that Japanese people sleep far less than people in other countries. Why is this?
One reason is that Japanese people tend to be diligent and serious by nature.
They tend to cut back on their sleeping hours in order to spend more time working overtime or studying due to their sense of responsibility at work.
This leads to shortened sleeping hours and irregular lifestyles, and many people end up in the worst condition of not being able to sleep even though they want to.
Therefore, I would like to tell you that you can have beautiful skin by getting a good night’s sleep.
We have already told you about the benefits of having beautiful skin in the past, so please refer to that article as well.

better sleep for beautiful skin
①Benefits of Sleep
First, the table shows the benefits of a good night’s sleep for the skin and, conversely, the condition of the skin if it does not get a good night’s sleep.
②Effects of Sleep on Skin
We know what sleep can do for your skin, and conversely, we know that lack of sleep and irregular lifestyle can cause skin problems.
No matter how expensive cosmetics and skin care products you use, if you do not get a good night’s sleep, it will be ruined.
③Explanation of the effects of sleep
So, why is sleep so important? I will touch on this.
Sleep stimulates growth hormone, which is essential for the production of new cells.
Growth hormone is the key to maintaining healthy and beautiful skin by repairing and regenerating damaged cells and tissues.
Lack of sleep or inadequate quality sleep inhibits the secretion of growth hormone, resulting in skin imbalance, cracked skin, and high lipid secretion, which can lead to acne and pimples.
We have all experienced the pimples that appear when we stay up late at night, haven’t we?
The sad reality is that no matter how much care you take from the outside, hormonal imbalance caused by lack of sleep worsens your skin condition rather than improving it.
Of course, it is not only your skin that suffers, but also your body.
④Importance of good sleep
It is important to sleep well, and to get good sleep at that.
It used to be said that 10:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. was the “golden hour,” when the body secretes a large amount of growth hormones.
However, this common sense is changing.
It is now known that the secretion of growth hormones can be achieved by determining the optimal time to sleep according to one’s biorhythms and falling into a state of deep sleep (non-REM sleep) within 4 hours, regardless of the time of falling asleep.
Although the optimal sleep time varies depending on your age and physical condition, you can achieve a good sleep to maintain the beauty of your skin by making it a habit to go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time every day.
In addition, for women, not only the secretion of growth hormone, but also the secretion of estrogen, a female hormone, is closely related to the amount of growth hormone secreted.
Estrogen is an important hormone that regulates the amount of moisture and sebum in the skin, in addition to causing menstruation and helping to form femininity.
When sleep deprivation occurs, estrogen is not secreted normally.
A good night’s sleep helps the parasympathetic nervous system to become dominant, improving blood circulation, supplying nutrients, and detoxifying the body (eliminating waste products).
When the sympathetic nervous system becomes dominant, blood vessels tighten and blood flow becomes sluggish, causing dull skin and dark circles under the eyes.
This can cause dull skin and dark circles under the eyes.
In other words, it is important to get a good night’s sleep.
Attempt to get a good night’s sleep

Meat fish eggs dairy products (mainly protein)
Miso soup, fish, bananas, etc. are recommended.

The light is also detected through the skin, causing adverse effects. The secretion of melatonin, which causes drowsiness, is reduced, which distorts the body’s internal clock and reduces the quality of sleep.
