"A good nights sleep does not only improve your physiological health, it will also make you look healthier and more attractive, whichin turn improves the chance of better treatments in a wide range of social situations," said John Axelsson, the lead researcher of thestudy performed in Sweden.
According to MSNBC, Axelsson, an associate professor in clinical neuroscience, recruited colleagues in Sweden and the Netherlands tosee if there is any scientific evidence behind the phrase "beauty sleep." The study, conducted at the Karolinska Institutet inStockholm, revealed that the positive effects of sleep shows on an individual's face. MSNBC reported:
"Axelsson and his colleagues in Sweden and the Netherlands decided to test the notion that lack of sleep affects your looks -- inaddition to your brain function, immune system, reaction time and vulnerability to a host of ills, including heart disease, diabetes andobesity.
"So they recruited 23 healthy adults and took photos of them after a good nights sleep and after they were forced to stay up for 31hours straight. Then they asked 65 ordinary people to rate each photo according to how attractive, healthy and tired the subjectslooked."
