How would you like to overcome insomnia?
It seems insomnia is a modern day epidemic and if you are suffering from a lack of sleep it affects everything else in your life resulting in a lack of energy, mood swings and utter desperation just to get a good nights sleep.
I typed in overcome insomnia over at amazon.com and got 58 results for products that try to answer the problem. It seems insomnia is also a great business opportunity for product creators. One of the products was called, I can make you sleep. How good does that sound when your eyes are hanging out of your head in utter exhaustion.
Insomia Cure
There are hypnosis cd’s, subliminal cd’s and even an mp3 download called Sleep like a baby… Hmm… My kids have grown up now but I seem to recall as babies they woke every 3 hrs for a feed? But seriously sleep deprivation is a serious issue and if you are suffering from it you need to get help.
One source that provides a free answer for a peaceful and restful sleep is the Bible.
In Proverbs Chapter 3 it talks about how precious obtaining the wisdom and understanding of the Lord and in verse 24 it says: When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
Ecclesiastes 5:12 says…
The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
The abundance of the rich causes sleepless nights and really in comparison to Old Testament times if you are reading this then you are the rich. You have a computer, internet connection, the ability to read, which means there are 92% of the earths population worse off then you. And it is our rich lifestyle which contributes to out lack of sleep (there are of course complex medical reasons for some), but for the vast majority of us it is our affluent lifestyle of late night tv, computer surfing, coffee and snacks that all play apart in our sleepness nights. Of course throw in the mix worry, busy lifestyle, children waking at night and other things you can quickly see how easy it is to be robbed of sleep.
For a good nights sleep nothing beats a good conscience before God. Psalms 4:8 – I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
When you feel safe and at peace then you sleep comes easy. You can find this rest in the Lord.
