But beauty, according to Axelsson, is not just skin deep. Sleep deprivation can have a negative effect on the immune system, raising blood pressure and raising risk for heart disease. His global health prescription is simple: sleep more, look better, and be healthier. What's not to love about that. Think about what we could do with all the money that will saved on skin cream.
