Why is it called "beauty sleep" even though you wake up looking like a hot mess?

I think because if you didn’t get that sleep, you’d be a lot messier. Physically and mentally.

Me after beauty sleep!

hot mess is good though isn't it?

True beauty is how you look when you wake up - sans makeup :)

I doubt you wake up looking anything but beautiful

Still hot though

You have to shower the sleep away, to see the beauty

All comes from Disney with their Sleeping Beauty stuff ;)

Because you're supposed to sleep naked.
