Skin renewal and skin repair activity work best at around 1am when we are in deepest sleep, so the lack of sleep during that prime time will have an enormous negative effect on the skin's health. This is not to say your skin will not renew at all if you do not get enough sleep - skin repair and renewal is an ongoing process unrelated to sleep, but sleep deprivation can slow down the process.

Stick-y experience
Life, Yingyong Un-anongrak, Published on 06/03/2012
» A few weeks ago, I had a chance to visit Ayutthaya province with my family. It's good to see the flood-ravaged province has recovered from last year's disaster. Traces of damage can still be seen at some historical places, but many seem to have returned to normal.
