Why Sleep Matters Why does sleep matter? Sleep is critical to health and wellbeing. It is a basic and fundamental human requirement and is vitally important for good physical, mental and emotional health as well as crucial for memory, learning and growth.
We spoke to Lisa Artiss of The Sleep Council to get some expert advice on why sleep matters and get the inside line on how to make sure we get the rest we need...
What happens to our body while we are sleeping? When you’re fast asleep a whole raft of functions take place to make sure that we get optimal benefit from our nightly rest. The body goes into repair mode and regenerates skin, blood and brain cells, as well as muscles. Sleep regulates your mood, improves your memory but also maintains health, weight and energy levels.
What about our skin - what’s going on overnight?
What are the tell-tale signs of someone who needs more sleep?
The main reason sleep deprivation causes such change in the skin is because of stress. It creates a hormonal response whereby the body produces extra adrenalin which has a major impact on skin function – drier skin, lines, sagging skin.
There are the obvious signs of tiredness such as being low on energy, having dull, unhappy skin and bags under your eyes. However, there are some less obvious ones to watch out for too. These include finding it hard to concentrate and being short tempered. Poor sleep can even affect your appetite - making you feel always hungry. That's because running low on rest can increase production of ghrelin otherwise known as the hunger hormone."
What is your top bit of advice for anyone struggling to sleep?
How can people find out more about the Sleep Council?
Create a restful sleeping environment. Visit www.sleepcouncil.org.uk Your bedroom should be cool, quiet, dark and have a comfortable supportive mattress, ideally not older than seven years. A bedroom should be kept for rest and sleep and free from distractions. Anything entertaining or work related such as TV’s, computers, tablets, games consoles and mobile phones should be turned off or even better, banned from the room!

Tired Skin?
Is your skin showing signs of needing more sleep? Take the Kiss the Moon Morning Mirror Test to check for these four telltale signs and follow our guide for what to do about it‌
1. stressed out skin What to look for
Outbreaks of spots or sensitive skin flare ups
Cause
When we don’t get enough sleep, levels of the stress hormone, cortisol, increases. Too much suppresses collagen production and makes skin vulnerable to inflammation
What to do
Pare back your skincare routine - avoid artificial and chemical additions which can irritate sensitive skin further and worsen the reaction. Go natural and simple instead Take time to de-stress your mind to help you restore your body’s natural internal balance and help make getting to sleep easier
How we can help
Try our jasmine infused CALM After Dark Face Oil. The combination of Jasmine, Roman Chamomile, Sandalwood and Ylang Ylang not only make it smell amazingly relaxing it also contains skin soothing properties and is gentle enough for sensitive skin Most importantly of all - remember that our skin is a barometer that tells the tale of whether we’re getting enough sleep. So while there are ways to handle those days when you wake up looking tired, the real solution is to tackle the main issue and find ways of getting the sleep your skin needs to stay looking its best
2. puffy eyes What to look for
Bags and dark circles under the eyes
Cause
Build up of toxins overnight as a result of a sluggish lymphatic system not able to do its clear up job effectively. While we are sleeping the lymph system kicks in, flushing out toxins and other waste materials that have built up through the day. We notice this first around our eyes as our skin here is much thinner than elsewhere
What to do
Relieve puffiness by placing a cotton pad soaked in chilled green or camomile tea over each eye. The cool will ease and refresh and also stimulate the circulation so you’ll look and feel a bit more wide awake
Also try some gentle lymphatic drainage massage moves. They’ll help drain away excess fluid from the delicate outer eye area
How we can help
Massaging your face gently with any one of our nutrient rich After Dark Face Oils gives you a double whammy - the action helps boost circulation and speed up drainage of toxins while the ingredients nourish and moisture. Choose from LOVE, GLOW or CALM
3. dehydrated skin What to look for
What to do
Cause
Upgrade your moisturiser to ensure it is heavy duty enough to do the job.
More visible wrinkles and a crepey feel Dry skin is caused by loss of natural oil from the skin’s surface. Dehydrated skin is a result of loss of water from the deeper layers. Both are a result of a poor cell repair and are antagonised by external factors such as over exposure to aircon, heating and harsh weather conditions. The older we get the more prone our skin becomes
Drink plenty of water through the day.
Consider an oil rather than a lotion at night for extra richness. Add a drop of face oil to your daytime moisturiser to give it a nutrient and moisturising boost when you need one
How we can help
Our GLOW After Dark Face Oil is our first choice for dry and dehydrated skin. It contains precious Neroli (orange blossom) essential oil which is great for rejuvenation at cell level, plus has Geranium and Myrrh for speedy healing
4. dullness What to look for:
Lacklustre skin that lacks smoothness and is missing its healthy glow
How we can help
Cause:
Exfoliate once a week with our GLOW After Dark Face Polish. The brown sugar AHAs will help smooth and the mango butter soften, whilst the deeply relaxing GLOW essential oils will help nourish the skin
What to do:
All our Face oils contain Rosehip Seed oil, high in vitamin A and a well known wonder oil for skin repair and Wheatgerm oil packed with anti-oxidant vitamin E. Our LOVE blend also contains Rose Absolute which boosts the circulation and helps skin to maintain a youthful bloom. The Frankincense we've added also helps to tone and smooth
Lack of sleep disrupts the cell regeneration process so skin can’t heal and renew itself fully. Old and damaged cells are rougher than newly formed healthy ones and can’t hold moisture as well so don’t appear as plump or fleshy Gentle exfoliation will help speed up the removal of dead and damaged surface cells Moisturise and protect from the sun during the day to avoid more drying out Apply a nourishing night oil (ideally one high in natural vitamin A and E) to deliver nutrients at cell level and deeply moisturise
