What the Bible can tell you
In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
Psalms 4:8
It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil, for he gives sleep to his loved ones.
Psalms 127:2
"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
A human reading
Not sleeping well wears you down and makes everything seem worse. Creating rest routines and talking about what worries you during the day can help. If insomnia lasts for weeks, see a doctor.
This page offers reflection and companionship; it does not replace a professional. If what you feel weighs heavily or lasts for weeks, talk with someone you trust or with a health professional.
