Has anyone noticed how people who do not sleep a lot "look old" - I mean with wrinkles, spots, etc.
Look at investment bankers - their chronological age does not seem to match their physical appearance.
This article gives a potential explanation - bad sleep changes protein expression, but I'm curious about the visible outcomes.
Hopefully there are many sleep deprived founders, and well rested lifestyle entrepreneurs (sorry for the cliché!) reading this thread.
Do people tell you you look younger/older than what you are? And how old are you??
- droidist2 14y agoGood point. They always say that about Presidents, they age like 20 years in 8 years.
- philwelch 14y agoStress is a contributor too, even if you sleep well. Clinton was known as a night owl but Bush, by most reports, got plenty of sleep and he still aged a lot.

Not much hair color left..
- username111 14y agoWell that is a time where a lot of people lose their hair color.
- liber8 14y agoPeople lose their hair color due (primarily) to a lack of catalase, which normally removes hydrogen peroxide. It is now thought that much of this work is done during sleep. So, assuming this theory is true, a lack of sleep (an effect every president has mentioned) does cause people to go gray.
- KMag 14y agoThat makes sense. Several of my friends in college developed grey patches in their hair that went away shortly after graduation.

- conroe64 14y agoIf that happened to me, I'd bow out of a second term.
- larrys 14y ago"Has anyone noticed how people who do not sleep a lot "look old" - I mean with wrinkles, spots, etc." Absolutely. But I will also add that the spots and the wrinkles can come from to much exposure to the sun which can also come from having the money to take vacations in the sun or have summer homes. Excess sun exposure really ages people.
