Beauty sleep could be real, say body clock biologists

Beauty Sleep: While taking a good night sleep, makes one feel energetic and refreshed for the day, Biologists have explained for the first time why having a good night's sleep really could prepare us for the rigorous activities of the day ahead.

The study was published in the journal Nature Cell Biology. The study conducted on mice shows how the body clock mechanism boosts our ability to maintain our bodies when we are most active.

And because we know the body clock is less precise as we age, the discovery, argues lead author Professor Karl Kadler, may one day help unlock some of the mysteries of ageing.

The discovery throws fascinating light on the body's extracellular matrix -which provides structural and biochemical support to cells in the form of connective tissue such as bone, skin, tendon and cartilage. Readmore Interesting points
