Sleep ultimately limits our time on earth. Think about it: We just lost a third of our whole life span to sleep.

We ought to understand that as much as God has blessed us with abilities, He also puts boundaries to what we can do. ...
In our limited ability, God shows His unlimited capacity. Imagine how the world and everything around you continues to operate even while you're asleep.

Feb 4, 2022 · Sleep is first found in Genesis 2:21, when Adam was placed into a deep sleep by God, forming Eve out of his ribs. God even rested on the seventh day (Genesis 2:2), perhaps to offer an example to follow, setting aside a Sabbath for the Jewish people, indeed, for us all.
God caused deep sleep to fall on Adam; while he knows no sin, God will take care that he shall feel no pain. God, as her Father, brought the woman to the man, as his second self, and a help meet for him.
