Sleepless in Pittsburgh

According to a recent newspaper article, it can take several days to recover after experiencing a few nights of sleeplessness. The new study said that even a catch-up night of 10 hours of sleep may not be enough to restore many people after they have a few nights of bad sleep. Even after one 10 hour night of sleep, they still showed lapses of attention, sleepiness, slowed reaction times and fatigue that lasted for several days.

Pittsburgh Plastic Surgeon - Dr. Anna Wooten stresses to her patients the importance of a good night's sleep. Not only is it beneficial for health, but also for a persons appearance. Lack of sleep can cause the eye lids to look droopy. Under eye bags and dark circles are often associated to lack of sleep. Dr. Wooten may recommend a blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery in Pittsburgh PA to widen the appearance of the eye. The loose skin is removed from the upper eyelid and the incision is hidden in the crease of the eyelid, so it is barely visible. The under eye bags can be removed at the same time for a wonderfully refreshed look.
