Beauty Sleep

Sleep is defined as the state where you take rest by suspension of powers and exercise of the mind and body. While we sleep our body take rests and repairs itself. Sleep is a state where our entire nervous system takes rest and we move into a “slow down attitude.”
We generally go through two phases of sleep called “the slow-wave sleep” and “the dream sleep.” In “the slow-wave sleep” our body takes rest and relaxes with a slow down attitude. And in the other phase that is “the dream sleep” brings to fore all the bottled tensions of your mind. Your dreams have an indirect connection to the emotional state of your mind. While dreaming our breathing and pulse rate becomes much more rapid and irregular but our muscles are said to be relaxed.
As most of us know that getting our 8 hours of sleep per day is considered normal but as we grow older, the sleep requirement reduces to 5-6 hours per day. Beauty and Sleep are co-related to each other.Lack of sleep causes headaches, blotchy skin, dull and tired eyes, lustreless hair, illness, insomnia and sluggish body functions. Insomnia causes degeneration in the body. Insomnia can be defined as the state in which anyone finds it difficult to fall asleep. The need for sleep varies from person to person and it reduces as you grow older. Insomnia cannot be cured with the help of tranquillizers. Insomnia patients get the best result with the help of homoeopathic treatments. Insomnia is related to the tension and anxiety of the individual.
