Remember when mom told you to get your beauty sleep? She was on to something! Not getting enough sleep can cause big beauty problems -- seriously! Your body uses the time you're sleeping to refresh and renew your entire system...and not giving it enough time for its natural regenerative abilities to work can lead to premature aging.

Here are a few suggestions to help you get the sleep you need!

Keep a regular sleep schedule – go to bed and get up at the same times each day.

This helps your body become accustomed to when it should be awake and asleep – if you get up and go to bed at varying times every day, your body’s internal clock can become confused.

Don’t consume caffeine four to six hours before bed and minimize the amount you consume during the day.

Caffeine keeps your body alert which is exactly the opposite of what you want at bedtime.

Don’t smoke, especially near bedtime or if you wake overnight.

Smoking is, of course, unhealthy and can lead to many illnesses which cause sleep problems. The nicotine from smoking keeps your body alert which is the opposite of what you want at bedtime.

Avoid alcohol and heavy meals before bedtime.

Anyone who has passed out from drinking alcohol knows that alcohol doesn’t create restful sleep. Likewise, eating a heavy meal can create its own problems. For the best sleep possible, it’s recommended to avoid both alcohol and heavy meals for several hours before bedtime.

Workout regularly.

Getting regular exercise makes your body want to get sleep. Not only is exercise good for your health; it’s great for your sleep!

Make sure your bedroom is comfortable.

Minimize noise, light and extreme hot and cold temperatures in your bedroom – this will give you the best opportunity for restful sleep.

Try to wake up without an alarm clock.

This will help ensure that your body is getting as much sleep as it needs.

Conquer stress.

Stress is said to be the leading-cause of short-term sleeplessness. Conquer it and you'll find yourself in a better place!
