Its very true that getting a great night of sleep is super important to enhance beauty . I am so guilty of looking at my phone and laptop before I go to bed! I’m trying to reduce my times on my electronics before bed, since I know it can reduce the effectiveness of sleep.
Great tips. Though it's nearly impossible for me to fall asleep on my back. Haven't thought about using a humidifier during the night, might be good idea to try it out, the air is quite dry here.
I am having a problem for falling asleep for past few months. I have consulted doctor also. I will try to follow these tips. Thanks
These tips are really helpful. I have never heard of using a silk or satin pillow. Hopefully that helps in my sleep cycle. 8 hours sleep is a must or at least minimum 7.
