Beauty sleep

You know the saying.

“I’ve got to get my beauty sleep”

Why do people say that?

Who wakes up in the morning or after a nap looking beautiful?

I don’t, not hardly. (When reading this aloud to my husband adamantly insisted that this is not true.  But he has a biased opinion ;P)

What with the disheveled ridiculous looking jammies, the bleary eyes, the hair sticking out in every direction not to mention the eyebrows being all mashed and weird looking,  (You know what I am talking about don’t deny it!) and do I even need to bring up morning breath….

Okay so maybe “beauty sleep” really means that being well rested makes it easier to look your best.

Who wants to look like they just rolled out of bed all day long?

And when you are tired you do look that way.

Stumbling around, yawning far to often and probably giving people a wiff of your breath more than anyone ought to, eeew, I don’t think I need to go on.

The point is sleep=rest, rest=presence of mind, presence of mind=ability, ability=looking your best or at least pretty close.

So sleep=beauty.

I get it now.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to get my beauty sleep.  ;D
