Is sleep important? That is a very good question. Lots of times we just stay up to the wee hours of the morning thinking that we are being productive by finishing some work or studying for a big exam the next day. Well, let me break the ice. Sleep is the number one thing that we need in our life.
Did you know that when you are sleeping then our body is creating new cells, reproducing the information we have seen or processed in our heads during that day, and making us more alert toward the next day? Yes, this is what the brain does every single night of your life. If your brain doesn't do this then you will never grow, or learn anything. It will just disappear. That is why it is so important to sleep!
Also, there is a Spiritual side to taking a nap or sleeping. Did you know that when you are sleeping that you are in constant communication with our Lord? This is so true because the Lord is molding our body and especially our brains while we are sleeping. Its probably the only way other then a miracle during the day time where he can work on our brains. God is miraculous! So if you think that you are not praying enough at night, then relax. Go to bed, and be assured that you are in constant communication with the Lord all night long when you are sleeping.
P.S. Of course, in rare circumstances, you can be fully awake, and praying all night, and the Lord can still give you a full nights rest. Pretty cool!
Love you and God Bless!
Psalm 16:7 I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.
