and read your post

makes perfect sense. he asked about the relation between sleep and skin
and the very first line in my post talks about how sleep’s necessary for regeneration of cells (skin included)

Sleep is a “natural, temporary loss of consciousness” necessary for our bodies to build up energy reserves and regenerate body cells and tissues. During sleep, the heart beats more slowly, breathing becomes slower, growth hormones peak, muscles relax and body temperature lowers. Newborn infants sleep almost continuously, gradually decreasing their need for sleep. In early childhood, 12 to 13 hours of sleep are generally required and this amount decreases to approximately 8 hours in adulthood. After the age of 50, sleep is often characterized by frequent night time wakenings, shorter dream lengths and less overall sleep.

And…a few suggestions/tips for better sleep:

• Avoid stimulants like caffeinated drinks before bed.
• Avoid eating a heavy meal at night. A light snack might help if hunger causes you to wake up at night.
• Create a pleasant, warm (body temperature drops when sleepy), noise-free bedroom with a comfortable mattress and pillow.
• Avoid exercise before bed, however, regular exercise during the day aids sleep.
• Avoid activities that increase anxiety, such as considering financial matters or discussing serious problems before bed.
• If possible, a quick daytime nap lasting 20 to 30 minutes can impart positive physiological benefits. Prolonged naps impair sleep at night and may cause insomnia.
• If experiencing insomnia, try getting up and engaging in another activity for a brief time and then attempt sleep again.
• A warm glass of milk contains tryptophan, a natural substance thought to aid sleep.
• Keep the bedroom dark, since the area of the brain which controls the sleep cycle is close to the optic nerves and thus sensitive to light (feeling awake) and dark (feeling sleepy).
• Quit smoking, which increases blood pressure, heart rate and brain wave activity.

Thank you doctor saheb. It does make some sense now. Can you tell us how long it takes before old skin cells are replaced by new ones?

it's not a formula...it's a routine that helps. if u sleep as much as you're supposed to and eat well, it will all help rejuvinate your skin.

it's minimal or none, if you do it once in a while because the body can make up for it, but if you make sleeping less a habit, it can reduce the amount of time the body needs in rest phase to reorganize itself before you're up and active again.

True, but rejuvenation isn't the same as regeneration of cells, or is it? I mean cell regeneration should be a long term process and the difference this process makes overnight should be quite limited?
