Ep 63: The Science of Beauty Sleep

An urban lifestyle replete with its glorification of dazzling city lights and late nights has influenced many to take sleep for granted. While the effects of sleep deprivation on our health and immune system are well established, emerging research now suggests that sleep deprivation can have a direct impact on how attractive you look. This has to do with sleep deprivation accelerating the aging process and also how it affects facial cues of fatigue. Sleep-deprived individuals are found to exhibit facial expressions which cue others to perceive them as fatigued, less healthy and overall as less attractive. This episode expounds on the concept of cellular senescence, which is a key inflammation pathway in the skin exposome concept and offers a scientific explanation behind accelerated aging associated with sleep deprivation.
