Hi, all!

From the same book:

-----Beginning of the citation-----
The second day at the Chateau Marmont was hotter than the first. In fact, the
temperatures were breaking records. Fans whirred in the lobby, where people sat
 flapping books under their chins.

The atmosphere of Los Angeles was also heating up, because the Academy Awards
were the following night. Already, in the hotels and smart houses, famous
directors, producers, actors, actresses, screenwriters, musicians, lawyers, and
 agents were getting their beauty sleep and preparing themselves for the big
event. The clothes designers, hairdressers, beauticians, jewelers, limousine
companies, flower shops, image therapists, and speechwriters of the city were
working overtime.
----- The end of the citation -----

What is a beauty sleep? If the celebrities were sleeping how did they attend
"the clothes designers, hairdressers, beauticians, jewelers... "?

Bye, all!
