We all know the feeling—you tossed and turned all night, and now your third and final alarm is ringing from your phone. An extra 5 minutes from the snooze button just won’t cut it.
But we also know the feeling of a great night’s sleep. You wake up energized and ready to take on the day ahead—and an added bonus? Good sleep habits can help support your hair health.
When we sleep, our body is busy regulating various biological processes—many of which play a role in the hair growth cycle. Poor sleep can lead to:
Increased stress1
A weakened immune system2
Hormone fluctuations3
Nutritional gaps4
When we don’t get enough rest, our body’s tolerance for stress decreases, which can lead to:
Excess hair shedding
Trouble waking up in the morning
Feeling tired or wired throughout the day
Our friends at Headspace know the importance of a healthy sleep schedule—and how a restful night sets the tone for your entire day.
