Sleeping Makes You More Beautiful - Study

It turns out you don't need lots of money to look more pretty or handsome. In fact, you don't have to shell out anything.

All you have to do is just get some sleep. Actually, lots of it


A recent BBC report says researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm found people deprived of sleep for long periods appear less attractive and more unhealthy than those who are well rested.

 While the concept of beauty sleep among women (and some men) have long been around, this is the first time the long held myth had some scientific basis.

Now what are the implications of this study?

For one, you can now use health and aesthetics as excellent excuses why you...


* Fell asleep during a boring university lecture or political speech

* Keep yawning whenever a friend's joke bombs & you just don't the heart to tell him or her its so corny

* Can't have sex with your spouse or partner ("Honey, I want to look good for you.")

* Dozed off in church (Health & cleanliness is next to godliness).

Seriously, maybe employers would now consider one-hour power naps for front line employees? Not only would a siesta improve the appearances of the workers, it would also energize them as well.

How about you, any other situations you can think of where sleeping for beauty can be legitimately used? Leave a comment.
