Get some sleep !

Now of days I can’t help but notice that so many people aren't getting their proper amount asleep to even function and if they do fall asleep they end up waking up at some odd hour and can't go back to sleep.

 Sleep is not only a must for our bodies but it insures that we're able to live a healthy life. I myself suffered from a brief stint of insomnia for eight whole nights. Talk about your mind playing tricks on you and that’s exactly what happened to me. My mind started to play tricks on me and I ended up seeing a doctor and given some of the best sleep medication on the market at that time and it helped. For like two hours! Then I was wide awake again. It wasn't until I was introduced to my now pastor that I learned how to settle my restless mind through God's word and get a full and peaceful night's rest. Which are the simple tips that I want to share with you right now but first my Disclaimer.

Warning! I am not a Doctor and in NO way I'm I instructing you to stop any medications or treatments that you may have been provided by your healthcare professional for any sleeping disorders that you may have. These are just some helpful natural sleeping tips to help you fall asleep and hopefully stay asleep.

• Stop thinking about sleeping because the more you think about sleeping the more you won't sleep. You need to take your mind of sleeping all together in order to fall asleep. Watch some TV (something peaceful & relaxing) or read. Preferably the bible. It’s filled with over 7,000 faithful promises to us and one of them is sweet sleep as well as keeping your mind on God brings peace." Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee “(Isaiah 26:3) KJB.
• Talk to God .Always a peaceful and a relaxing thing to do.
• Don't try to force your sleep. Sleep needs to come naturally and is better that way. At first  you may only sleep for a couple of hours but little by little it will increase to a full night of sleep.
• Put in some hard work on the job . Nothing will help you to fall asleep like a hard day’s work!
• Try to be mindful of what you are eating and drinking before bed because the ingredients in some of the things you’re eating before bed could be the main thing sabotaging your night’s rest.
• Lastly let go and let God! If you’ve tried all these methods and you just feel like nothing is really working for you. Then I would urge you just to try to lay down, close your eyes and start trusting the Lord because when you have done all that YOU can do GOD will do the rest. Also remember that God can do the impossible.

 If you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Proverbs 3:24

In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8

It is in vain that you rise up early a d go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep. Psalm 127:2
