Beauty
sleep is a real thing, researches have shown that people who have enough sleep
look more attractive (有魅力的) to others.
A few bad
nights are enough to make a person look especially "more ugly", their
sleep experiments show.
The
researchers asked 25 university students to join in their sleep experiment.
They were asked to get a good night's sleep for two nights.
A week
later, they were asked to sleep for only four hour every night for two nights
in a row. The researchers took make—up free (素颜) photos of the volunteers after
both the good and the bad sleep.
Next, they
asked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge (评价) them on attractiveness, health,
and sleepiness, as well as asking them: "How much would you like to make
friends with this person in the picture?"
The
strangers were good at judging whether the person they were looking at was
tired, and if he was sleepy, his attractiveness score would be low.
The
strangers also said they wouldn't want to socialize with the tired
students. The researchers say this is natural for people. An unhealthy-looking
face makes people run away. In other words, people don't want to hang around
with people who might be ill.
Dr Brewer,
an expert at the University of Liverpool said: "Judgment of attractiveness
is often unconscious (无意识的), but we all do it, and we are able to judge on even something
small like whether someone looks tired or unhealthy. This study is a good
reminder of how important sleep is to us."
