Sleep and Spiritual Development

Sleep is important on our journey for spiritual development.  We are spiritually recharged during sleep.  Sleep brings counsel.  Pray and ask for guidance before sleep and the answers will come your way.  Your subconscious mind never sleeps.  It is alert and operating 24/7.  Let the subconscious mind take over during your sleeping hours and you will get the answers and guidance you are seeking. 

Adequate sleep is essential for joy and vitality in life.  Many studies recommend eight hours of sleep a night.  I know that seems impossible for many of you that have so much on your plate.  You must choose your mental health and well being by prioritizing sleep.   A good habit to develop and that encourages a good sleep night is a routine time to go to bed and wake in the morning.  Routine is key for good nights sleep.  For example:  I go to bed at 11:00 pm and wake at 8:30 am.  I need more than the recommended eight hours.  You may need more or a bit less than the recommended eight hours.  Let your mind and body be your guide.   The idea is to get into a routine time of going to bed and waking up each morning.  Worse case scenario is if you can't get the recommended eight hours or close to that then try getting in 10 to 20 minute naps.  These naps will refresh your mind and your body until you can get a routine and regular sleep pattern.

For more restful sleep try the following:

bullet

Avoid drinking or eating caffeinated products at least 8 hours before bedtime.

bullet

If you watch TV before going to bed only watch positive calming shows. Nothing violent or disturbing.

bullet

Listen to relaxation tapes or music that help calm your mind and body.

bullet

Have the bedroom temperature cool and keep the room dark for a restful sleep.

bullet

If you choose to read before sleep then read something that will calm the mind and not get your mind over stimulated.  Books on spirituality are very calming.

bullet

Use an affirmation and repeat it over and over silently to calm the mind.

bullet

Pray and thank the universe for all of your blessings.  Prayer and thoughts of gratitude are very calming.
