Why have I broke out in so many spots today? Can this happen from lack of sleep? Is that why its called beauty sleep?

lack of sleep can cause lots of disorders and even blemishes. i think they originally called it "beauty sleep" as a pun from the fairy tale "sleeping beauty". but in real life, lots of sleep does promote healthier skin and well-being.

Have been depressed lately or on your period? Stress and PMS cause an increase in hormones which causes the human body to imitate what it was like to be 14 or 15. Another reason could be dairy, if you have recently had a lot of milk, cheese, ice cream, or chocolate, that could be why. Dairy speeds up our oil secretion in the same fashion as the stress. Try drinking at least 16 ounces of water a day it helps flush out things like extra oil in our bodies.College Anatomy and Physiology was a big helper in this one. Hope this helped,Good luck.

lack of sleep doesn't help - but i would have thought that would be caused by a few nights bad sleep, not just one. my skin tends to be better during certain times of the month. maybe it's due to hormones ? try washing your skin with a cleanser b4 u go to bed, and treat the really bad ones with either tee tree oil (tiny dab on the spot) or put toothpaste on them overnight - just don't forget to wash it off in the morning !!! toothpaste is excellent at helping to shrink spots. it fights germs, and drys out excess oils. just don't put it near your eyes though, it'll make your eyes sting, even if it's just close to your eyes....

No you dont get spots from lack of sleep. You get them from what you eat/drink and from your skin type. Make sure you exfoliate twice a week to remove all the dead skin cells and pop a couple of Vit E pills/day these are excellent for your complexion.

it could be lack of sleep, or it could be due to if you had a night out last night, especially if you were in a smoky pub and if you were drinking. if not it could be signs of the start of a cold. try washing your face with an anti bacterial face wash before you go to bed and when you get up in the morning, you should notice a difference after a few days

Tell me about it!! its horrible isnt it!!
I definatly think lack of sleep and alcohol takes its toll on your skin!It definatly does mine!
I think the best thing to do is if you do have too much to drink make sure you you keep your self hydrated the following day with plenty of water!!
But yep i think its true what they say about needing your beauty sleep!!I certinaly wish id had mine this weekend then maybe i wouldnt look like this!! x
