To get most of out your sleep and keep your skin looking it's best no matter how many (or few) hours of sleep you can get per night, turn off your TV and dim any sources of light in your room, including that smart phone. The darker the better, it seems. Using a night cream can also help. Unlike protective day creams, night creams are designed to take advantage of skin's sleep-time repair cycle. Night creams can even boost the rate of cell repair that happens during sleep so that more happens in less time. Look for skin care products specifically labeled as "night cream" or "night repair" to take advantage of those benefits.
