Health Effects of Lack of Sleep

I actually did a mini-study last month with myself as the subject. It wasn’t too scientific so bear with me.

Experiment: Effects of sleep on facial health

Controls:

• Same person
• Same moisturizer applied on face
• Same lighting
• Similar diets consumed on all days

Exhibit 1:

0 hours of sleep (awake for 24 hours)

• Bloated face
• Eyes watering
• Rough skin
• Could NOT smile…was too tired

Exhibit 2:

4 hours of sleep (awake for 20 hours)

• Bloated face
• Defined eye bags
• Skin roughed up but not as bad as before

Exhibit 3:

8 hours of sleep (awake for 16 hours)

• Look well rested and energetic
• Eye bags have reduced and mostly dark circles remain
• Bloating reduced

Exhibit 4:

12 hours of sleep (12 hours awake)

• Tired from sleeping but bags are gone
• Skin looks healthy

Exhibit 5:

16 hours of sleep (awake for 8 hours)

• Very tired from sleeping
• Eye bags are back in business
• Skin looks rested

My conclusion:

1. By sleeping excessively, I was limiting myself nutrition and this may have contributed to the decline in face health after the sweet 8–10 hour sleep mark.
2. If I don’t sleep enough I will look exactly like a drug addict or a drunk teenager.
3. The constant appearance of dark circles under my eyes can be attributed to my anemia.

I had a very weird schedule and decided to turn it into a study.

I would take selfies every time I woke up*
