Struggling with insomnia, I, Dr. Stacey Shillington ND, experienced firsthand the toll that sleepless nights can take on one's skin health. My journey of tossing and turning morphed into a quest for understanding the sleep-acne connection, and what I discovered was a game-changer. This podcast episode is a deep exploration into how our slumber—or lack thereof—can lead to an unwelcome landscape on our faces. We're not talking about simple sleep tips; this is a holistic revolution, where nurturing your nervous system takes center stage in the fight against acne. Let's face it, counting sheep just doesn't cut it when you're aiming for that flawless complexion. High-quality Z's are pivotal, but it's the elusive REM and deep sleep that are the true unsung heroes here. I'll guide you through my own strategies that transformed my nighttime ritual, from the tech-savvy Oura Ring that tracks every restful moment to the simple yet effective power of a pitch-black room. It's not just about clocking in more hours; it's about enhancing every second of your sleep to let your skin—and your health—truly flourish. By now, you might be thinking that this all sounds like a dream, but I assure you, it's a reality within reach. As we wrap up, I invite you to dive even deeper with my free clear skin masterclass and hormonal acne healing program, where we tackle everything from the gut to the mind in pursuit of that perfect glow.
