beauty sleep

Overnight facial refresh

Sleep taken to improve one's appearance, especially when gotten before midnight or as extra rest.

The term is often used lightheartedly: I need my beauty sleep.

It can justify going to bed early or sleeping in, with the implication that adequate rest makes one look better.
