You’ve heard the tales: get your beauty sleep or someday, you’ll be a sallow, wrinkly old spinster hag.
And according to a new study by the British Medical Journal, that’s true.
According to the study:
researchers photographed a group of people after a normal eight hours of sleep and then after 31 hours of no sleep. They then showed the photos to another group of untrained observers who were asked to rate the healthiness of the subjects. The photos were shown in random order so the observers couldn’t tell who had had sleep and who hadn’t.
I know you’re feeling self-conscious about this already, but trust me–the result is even worse:
The results showed that sleep-deprived people appeared less healthy, less attractive and more tired than the well-rested people.
Wow.
I mean, you’d think there would be a little bit of shading under the eyes, a few light signs of fatigue, but that’s pretty intense.
So remember, get your beauty sleep…and wake up hag-free!
don’t look at me i haven’t slept
