Understanding how sleep impacts the mind.
Sleep for the brain is like gas for your car. When the tank is full you get where you need to go. But as we continue to drive, the gas gauge falls lower and lower until all the gas is gone and the car stops. Our brains operate in a similar way. The only difference is the brain’s fuel is sleep.
Sleep is the mind’s time to rest and recharge. When we get proper sleep, memories, emotions and new information are processed and filed away for our minds to retrieve later. Think about it like this: sleep for the mind is like the quiet hours at the office. When there is less to respond to, you get more work done.
So the same applies to the brain, when you are asleep it can get more work done because it doesn't have to respond to all the external stuff you encounter when you are awake. Have you ever noticed that when you've had a few late nights and missed out on sleep, you tend to be more sensitive, easily irritated, or impulsive?
In addition to emotional instability, scientists know that lack of sleep causes a chemical imbalance in the brain. Some of the most valuable chemicals in the brain are our hormones. Lack of sleep messes up the communication between the brain and its messengers, causing our hormones to act incorrectly or deliver misinformation to the body. This is why sleep deprivation poses such a dangerous threat to mental health—there’s a lot at risk if our hormones don’t deliver the correct information across the body.

Vitamin C Serum Think of it as sunshine in a bottle: With continued use, vitamin C can brighten dull skin, lighten dark spots, reduce hyperpigmentation and sun damage, as well as firm and tighten the skin.
Dermatological studies have found that vitamin C is one of the most effective antioxidants for skincare, boasting a range of benefits for each and every skin type. Here's how:
- Vitamin C repairs cell damage and keeps your skin cells healthy and properly functioning
- . Vitamin C fights free radicals, which damage your cells, leading to wrinkles, dark spots, fine lines, and saggy skin. Vitamin C’s high acidity level stimulates collagen and elastin production, speeding up your skin’s regeneration process.
- Vitamin C helps brighten and even the skin’s overall tone and texture due to an increase in collagen production. Although it tackles existing dark spots and hyperpigmentation head-on, regular use of vitamin C also prevents hyperpigmentation from happening in the first place.
Anytime you add a new product into the mix, there's a chance that your skin will have to adjust. Vitamin C, while great, is notorious for causing redness and irritation, especially for those with sensitive skin. To keep your skin happy, start by using vitamin C serums once, or twice a week. gradually working up to daily use. Keep in mind that it may take several weeks to see an improvement in your skin’s tone and texture. As a general rule, you should allow three weeks for visible results. Stick to your schedule to see your desired results — even if it takes a month or two.
When used correctly, Vitamin C can penetrate the outer layer and properly absorb through the skin. The end result: beautiful, glowing skin, free of dark spots, sun damage and other signs of aging.
