How do we feel after a sleepless night due to insomnia, anxious, thinking about all our problems? I don’t know about you, but I felt awful. And over time, everything kept intensifying.
More than 45% of people are affected by stress. The new lifestyle of the 21st century makes getting good sleep and living peacefully a true luxury.
We fall into a vicious cycle where being stressed prevents us from sleeping well, and not sleeping well affects our mood, causing more stress.
The impact of sleep on stress and health
When we sleep little, our body reacts with anxiety and releases cortisol (the stress hormone). Cortisol helps us react to danger and increases our heart rate, but too much cortisol can lead to weight gain, cardiovascular problems, or high blood pressure.
Insomnia also causes problems in our immune system.
A little stress is normal, but too much affects our entire body.
Sleeping poorly and its impact on your skin
In women, one of the most noticeable signs of damage is the marks left on the skin, known as cellulite or orange peel skin. Several studies conclude that chronic stress makes it harder to prevent or treat the fat deposits or accumulations caused by cellulite.
Quality sleep positively impacts our health by reducing the risk of some cardiovascular, cerebrovascular diseases, and diabetes. It also improves our mood, helping us feel calmer, happier, and less stressed.
Stress can be caused by various factors, but the quantity and quality of the hours we sleep can determine its intensity. Glow-me is formulated with natural ingredients like L-Tryptophan, an essential amino acid that helps our body produce melatonin (to fall asleep) and serotonin (the so-called ‘happiness hormone’).
Stress and lack of sleep also make us age faster. Glow-me also has an extra benefit: it contains coenzyme Q10, collagen peptides, resveratrol, and hyaluronic acid to fight free radicals.
