和营养、锻炼一样，良好的睡眠对健康也是非常重要的。在睡眠的过程中，我们的身体进行着自我修复，也正因如此，皮肤专家建议我们要睡”美容觉“。下面这些小建议可以帮你获得更好的睡眠。

You know how important good nutrition and exercise are for your health and beauty, but do you know sleep is crucial too?

When you doze¹ you're getting more than rest. Sleep researchers say your body is healing and repairing itself. For this reason, dermatologists² often suggest using your most "active" skin creams before bed. To avoid puffy, bloodshot eyes, dark under-eye circles and a pale washed-out complexion³ -- and for peak alertness and energy -- experts say you need eight hours of sleep a night.

Here are some tips from the Sleep Disorders⁴ Institute at New York's St. Luke's Roosevelt hospital to help you get the sleep you need:

Exercise every day. Even 20 minutes of walking can help keep stress hormones⁵ from interfering⁶ with your sleep.

Avoid large meals just before bedtime. An active digestive system can disrupt sleep.

Minimize light, noise and temperature extremes; your bedroom should be comfortably cool, about 68 Fahrenheit⁷ degrees.

Don't read, watch television or work in bed. Use the bed only to sleep. This helps prevent you from developing sleep disorders.

Avoid caffeine, nicotine⁸ or other stimulants⁹ within four hours of bedtime.
