Restless Nights

Restless Nights

Back in November I started working nights, now I have a hard time falling asleep on my nights off. But, is this something new? Honestly, I have had a hard time falling asleep at night for quite some time now. I toss and turn in my bed. Trying time and time again to turn my mind off and rest. More than anything, I would love to leave all the unanswered questions, worries, and stress out of my head. Especially if it’s time for rest.

Rest- relief or freedom, especially from anything that wearies, troubles or disturbs.

What’s the root to your restless nights? Worried about a loved one? Having money issues? My root is different each night. I overthink way too much. I wonder how “this” would have turned out differently if I would have done “that.” It’s something that I have to stop for rest to come.

We were giving the gift of rest. A time to recharge and let God work on our troubles. We have to stop letting things that He’s going to work out keep us up at night. So whenever you are tossing and turning in bed, go to your happy place. Relax, breathe, and let go of your thoughts. Remember, rest is a time to recharge and get relief. It’s time to get our rest back!
