Although the notion of beauty sleep has often been dismissed as a myth, a recent research proves sleep does enhance your appearance. What's more, experts recommend at least seven hours a night.

　　盡管“美容覺”這一說法已經不是什么新鮮事，最新研究還是證明了睡覺確實能夠改善人的外表。不僅如此，專家們還建議每晚至少要睡夠七個小時。

　　In the study, 23 healthy young adults were photographed after a good night's sleep, and again after much less. Each picture was then rated on an attractiveness scale of one to ten by members of the public. And the well-rested won hands down.

　　研究中，23位年輕成年女性在一夜好覺后拍照，在一夜嚴重缺覺后再拍照。隨后公眾以滿分為10分的標準為每張照片的吸引力打分。結果顯示，休息充分的女性照片大獲全勝。

　　Sleep-deprived people are perceived as less attractive and less healthy compared with when they are well rested, according to the study carried out at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm.

　　與睡眠充足者相比，睡眠不足者看起來沒有多少吸引力，也不夠健康，斯德哥爾摩卡羅林斯卡研究中心的一項研究表明。

　　In addition, sleep has been shown to reduce wrinkles in the face and neck. This is because when we are asleep we sweat more, and this moisture on the skin smooths out any lines.

　　此外，研究顯示，睡眠還有助于減少面部和頸部皺紋。這是因為人們睡眠越多流汗越多，而水分能夠平滑肌膚，減少皺紋。
