If there was ever a sign to get your beauty sleep, this is it.
A British bedding and mattress company has teamed up with a self-described “sleep evangelist” to illustrate what our bodies may look like in 25 years if regularly don’t get enough sleep — and it ain’t pretty.
With help from Dr. Sophie Bostock, Bensons for Beds created dramatic digital renderings of what a female body could look like in 2050 if she typically gets around six hours of sleep a night.
Experts consistently recommend getting seven to nine hours a night, yet 57% of Americans said they need more sleep in a 2024 Gallup poll.
In New York City, the average amount of sleep reported per night is six hours and 36 minutes, according to a recent survey — and it’s as low as six hours and 18 minutes in Staten Island.
And while we all know being tired doesn’t feel good in the short-term, it can also do lasting damage, as illustrated by “Hannah,” Bensons for Beds’ startling model.
