Sleep: What a Wonderful Thing!

Do we get enough sleep? Sleep is so important for health and well-being. God gives His beloved sleep (Psalm 127:2). He says our sleep will be sweet if we apply wisdom in our lives (Proverbs 3:24).

As a child, when I had a problem, I remember my mother saying, "Things will be better in the morning." Sometimes problems just seem insurmountable when you're tired. But after a good night's sleep, you can cope and better see solutions. Things really do look better after a good rest.

Sleep is needed for good health, a sound mind and to repair body cells. Adequate sleep boosts your memory, helps keep your heart healthy and reduces stress. Lack of sleep can lead to many different kinds of physical and mental health problems. Sleep deprivation has been used as a means of breaking people down. And a total lack of sleep can eventually lead to death.

Sleep is very important and is God's gift to daily rejuvenate our minds and bodies.
