Sleep tight, look good - Forget artificial beauty enhancers. A good night's sleep is all you need to look attractive, according to a study published on the British Medical Journal website.
The study, led by John Axelsson from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, investigated the relationship between sleep and perceptions of attractiveness and health.
The participants were photographed between 2pm and 3pm on two occasions, once after normal sleep and once after being deprived of sleep. All of them wore no make-up and were asked to have a relaxed, neutral facial expression for both photos.
Sixty-five observers, who rated the photographs for attractiveness, found the faces of sleep-deprived participants as less healthy, less attractive and more tired. Eveline Gan ( todayonline.com )
