Winter is also a season when sleep quality is likely to decline

"Good quality sleep" is essential for beautiful skin

Did you know that your sleep quality is likely to decline not only in summer but also in winter?

[Smooth falling asleep is the key]

In winter, when our hands and feet tend to get cold, many people turn on heaters and wear thick clothes in an attempt to keep their bodies warm, but this can trap heat inside the body and raise the core body temperature, reducing the quality of sleep. Be careful not to get too warm while sleeping.

 

[Sunshine hours]

In winter, the shorter daylight hours mean that serotonin is not produced sufficiently, which can lead to imbalances. Serotonin is a substance in the brain that helps with stress. A lack of serotonin can cause problems not only with your skin, but also with your mental health.

When you wake up in the morning, open the curtains first thing.
Exposure to sunlight resets your body clock, helping you wake up naturally.
Even if you don't have direct sunlight, you can still get some light by sitting next to a window.
Spend your time by a window first thing in the morning.

 

[Bedroom environment is prone to deterioration]

In winter, temperatures of around 20°C and humidity of around 50% are considered ideal. Since indoor temperatures tend to be dry in winter, try to create an environment suitable for sleep by using heaters and humidifiers.

[Prepare the environment for both summer and winter]

There are many things you can control to ensure a good night's sleep, such as choosing comfortable pajamas and other clothing. Creating a good sleeping environment is key.

 

Regardless of the season, be mindful of getting quality sleep and maintaining beautiful skin.
