Studies show that sleep deprivation can also lead to increased oxidative stress and inflammation, which in turn accelerates skin aging. Furthermore, chronic sleep deprivation can increase the production of the stress hormone cortisol, which promotes the breakdown of collagen – an important protein responsible for the firmness and elasticity of our skin.

For optimal health and performance, adults generally need between seven and nine hours of sleep per night. However, this can vary from person to person and depends on various factors, including age, lifestyle, and individual sleep needs. What’s important is not just the quantity, but also the quality of sleep. Uninterrupted sleep allows our body to go through all sleep phases, including REM and deep sleep, both of which are crucial for physical recovery and regeneration.

Good sleep also plays an essential role in longevity. It supports cognitive function, strengthens the immune system, and reduces the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and obesity. Through sufficient and high-quality sleep, we can slow down cellular aging, promote mental health, and generally lead a longer, healthier life.

At Institut Uniq, we understand how valuable good sleep is for our health, appearance, and longevity, and we integrate sleep optimization measures into our personalized treatment plans. With our “beauty bedroom”, we create an environment that promotes restful sleep by regulating factors such as light, temperature, and humidity, and by providing a sleep tracking function. This allows our patients to improve their sleep, regenerate their skin, and enhance their overall health and well-being. Thanks to our collaboration with leading sleep specialists and comprehensive diagnostic capabilities, we identify sleep disorders early and treat them effectively.
