Summary

Happy Friday Beauty Byters!

In this week’s Five Minute Friday, I am talking about the importance of sleep! Sleep is so important for your body's healing process. Skin and collagen rebuild during the night, so it is crucial to apply your nighttime products and allow yourself enough time for restorative sleep. Turning off electronics an hour or two before sleeping, and even using a better pillow are all ways to ensure a great night's rest. I like using my Sleep and Glow pillow to ensure I get the best sleep possible. Its unique shape and memory foam help prevent wrinkles, and it has bacteriostatic, antiviral, and antifungal properties as well.

If you have a question or something you’d like covered on the podcast, send me a DM or email info@beautybydrkay.com and I’d be happy to respond!

0:00.0	Well, hello, hello, guys, you're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K, Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon,
0:19.6	and it's time for a five-minute Friday. I'm going to talk aboutites with Dr. K., Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon, and it's time for a five-minute Friday.
0:22.5	I'm going to talk about our favorite subject, sleep, because I don't get enough sleep,
0:27.9	and I've tried to make it a mission this summer to reset my sleep patterns.
0:32.3	We've all had crazy sleep disruption during COVID with binge watching and TikToking and like just staying up
0:39.6	super late and I'm feeling like I need to reset myself. So the beautiful sun of summer is going to
0:47.0	help me to reset my pineal gland, my melatonin, and my circadian rhythm. But I wanted to talk to you
0:52.7	a little bit about sleep and how much sleep
0:55.6	we should be getting. What does it take to have quality sleep? And does sleep affect your beauty?
1:00.9	It definitely, definitely does. So are you getting the recommended amount of sleep every night?
1:06.9	Seven to nine hours is the recommended amount. And if you're getting less than that, it's time to
1:11.8	improve a little bit. That seems like a lot of hours flat on your back, but there are five stages
1:16.8	of sleep that our body needs to rotate through, starting with non-REM sleep and moving into deep
1:22.4	REM sleep and then the very deepest sleep of dreaming. So adults need about seven to nine hours. Children need much,
1:29.6	much more. Stage one of your sleep is when you first start to drift off to sleep. Very light,
1:34.8	non-REM doesn't last very long. Stage two is still light sleep, but now you get steadier,
1:40.6	slower breathing, your heart rate slows down, your muscles relax, and your body
1:44.4	temperature decreases. You sleep best in a cold, cold room, so, you know, 50, 79 degrees is not good.
1:52.8	In the summertime, you need to sleep around 69 degrees or even lower. In stage three of sleep,
1:58.7	you enter deep sleep, and stage four is the deepest stage of your sleep.
2:03.5	During your deep sleep, your breathing, heartbeat, body temperature, everything is its lowest level.
2:09.8	You're very difficult to arouse.
