Trouble Sleeping

Postby Lynna » Sun Oct 06, 2013 1:21 am

This feels minor compared to all the other prayer requests, including my own regarding my job search, but it feels like forever since I've gotten to sleep past midnight. Sometimes it's because I have a hard time getting to bed on time, but other times I just lie in bed with my thoughts turning and this horrible twisted feeling in my stomach. I know it's probably because I'm subconciously worried about something, but I just wish it would go away, because the biggest problem is that late nights lead to sleeping in which lead to me not getting much done each day. I have around five different alarms each morning trying to wake me up, but really, if I haven't got enough sleep and I don't have school or a job, you can probably guess how effective they are.
Sorry for the mini-rant. Prayers would be much appreciated, please and thank you :)

Praying. Sleep is very important because it can affect perception of things and performance. You probably experienced the effects of not getting enough sleep. Have you tried listening to music or reading a book before going to sleep? That might help you get distracted from the thoughts that keep you awake. I know it helps me.

Praying. Also, don't think that any prayer request is minor or insignificant. God cares about all your needs.

Praying, Lynna. I know how that feels. Hopefully you get worked out whatever is keeping you up so you can get sufficient sleep.

Praying. Also, try drinking chamomile or peppermint tea before bedtime. The former has natural relaxing properties, and the latter can help soothe your stomach. The scent of lavender may help as well.

Glad to hear it, Lynna. I hope it continues.
