Understanding Beauty Sleep & Sleep Cycles

What Is Beauty Sleep?

Beauty sleep refers to quality sleep that allows the body to repair and regenerate. During deep sleep, growth hormone is released, helping repair cells and tissues. This is why good sleep is associated with healthy, glowing skin.

The 90-Minute Sleep Cycle

Sleep cycles through four stages: light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep. Each cycle lasts about 90 minutes. Waking at the end of a cycle (during light sleep) leaves you feeling refreshed.

๐Ÿ’ก Clinical Insight: The National Sleep Foundation recommends 7โ€“9 hours of sleep for adults โ€” that's 5โ€“6 sleep cycles.

Waking in the middle of a cycle can leave you groggy. Waking at the end of a cycle (light sleep) helps you feel refreshed.

It depends on your wake-up time. Working backwards in 90-minute cycles gives you optimal bedtimes.

During deep sleep, the body releases growth hormone for cell repair. Poor sleep is linked to dull skin, dark circles, and premature aging.
