Could A Bad Nights Sleep Affect Your Ance?
Does the amount you sleep affect your acne? If you suffer from acne, you might have noticed this your self. After a period of sleep deprivation you may wake up with oily skin and blemishes. This is because sleep does in fact affect acne. Lets see how sleep affects your acne and what can be done with sleep to help reduce the issue.
As humans we need sleep. Each of us need a different level of sleep each night, the recommendation of 8 hours a night is just an average. Some people do just fine on six hours while some people need more sleep. Sometimes we don't actually have much choice on how much we can sleep due to commitments however we should always try our best to get enough sleep.
The quality of your sleep also matters. You can have an awful sleep for eight hours and technically not get a good enough sleep.
A shortage of a quality sleep could:
- Result in stress and even lead to despression symptoms.
- Increase insulin resistance
- Increase inflammatory cytokines
- Increase the possibility that you put on weight.
- Leave you with low energy and productivity through the day.
Those are just a few examples of the problems a bad sleep could lead to. The two main issues for acne are the increases in insulin resistance and the inflammation.
Even with slight sleep deprivation, we can experience an increase in insulin resistance. This means that the bodies ability to use glucose is decreased. This could lead to acne as well as other health problems such as diabetes.
Again it only takes a slight amount of sleep deprivation, we can experience an increase in inflammation. This can affect several health disorders including acne.
Anyone who has dealt with sleep deprivation can tell you that it does increase our stress levels and can sometimes lead to depression and stress, which also has an effect on acne and oily skin.
You usually know if you're not getting enough sleep but a good sign is how you feel when you get up in the morning. Most people rarely feel amazing as soon as they are up but do you feel like a zombie? Do you struggle to get through the day? This could be because of sleep deprivation. It could also be caused by other issues such as diet, but you should not be feeling this way and you should try and figure out what's causing your low levels of energy.
To improve your sleep, the first thing you should do is acknowledge the fact that you aren't getting enough good sleep. Then you should try a few things out.
These could be:
- Stop doing any work long before you go to sleep so that your mind isn't in overdrive when your head hits the pillow.
- Decreasing your caffeine intake through the day.
- Going to sleep an hour early every night - This may be tough in the beginning as your body clock needs to adjust but it should not take long to get used to it.
The most important thing you need to do is acknowledge the issue. If you're sleep deprived then you must try to solve the problem. If you feel like you're suffering from insomnia and need help or guidance from a professional then you should get in touch with your doctor.
