SLEEP

I found out recently that if we do not get enough sleep, bags under our eyes will be the least of our problems .
According to Matt Monarch "sleeping is one of the most beneficial things for the human body. When we sleep, that is the time of the day when we do the MOST regeneration. In other words, the process of 'becoming younger' happens mostly when we are asleep. When we are sleeping we are not eating, which allows our bodies to cleanse out toxins and conserve energy. Our bodies go into such a deep state of relaxation, that all of our energy can be utilized in healing and regenerating our bodies.
I have heard many people say that you can sleep too much. While this might be the case for someone who has chronic depression, for example, and wants to avoid the outside world, I personally believe that the average person can benefit from all the sleep they can get."

Thought it was just age but when I look around me the people looking their age along with being haggard and drawn are the ones that got too little sleep. After a certain age, living a'rough life' catches up with you, the alcohol, the cigarettes and the lack of sleep starts to show,and sleep is something we cannot catch up on so we can`t bleach all week and think staying in bed all day Sunday will make up for it. Better we do it the other way around bleach one night and go to bed the other nights....Your body will thank you for it......And u will really experience 50 being the new 30!
