Win hands down, wear hair down
Those who manage eight hours a night look far more attractive than those who are sleep deprived, say scientists from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden.
A group of healthy young adults were photographed after a good night's sleep, and again after much less, reports the British Medical Journal.
Each picture was then rated on an attractiveness scale of one to 10 by members of the public. And the well-rested won hands down, according to the Daily Mail.
Young women who took part in the study were not allowed to use make-up and had to wear their hair down for both photos, just in case a particular style was slightly more flattering.
Please explain to me the highlighted parts.
