beauty rest

Sleep for appearance

Sleep, especially as framed for its restorative effects on appearance: I need my beauty rest.

The phrase is typically lighthearted, offering an excuse to turn in early or sleep late.

It plays on the idea that adequate sleep prevents dark circles and improves complexion.
