What time do you go to bed and wake up currently?
Hello to you. I’m just back from Grace House where we have a prayer meeting each Thursday at 9:30 am. Today it was Lois, Brie and me. We are hoping that may be this fall our group will grow some. I walked over and back. My lower back wasn’t happy but the prayers helped. I have been having some vertigo/swaying spells the past couple of days. I hope this isn’t a side effect of the new medication I’m on! We prayed for my Aunt and Dad too. Just found out my Aunt is having shoulder surgery later this month.
So bedtime and getting up are something I’ve been having to work on. I try to start going to bed at 9 pm and I usually wake up around 8-9 am. It takes me a long time to fall asleep and I don’t like getting out of bed right away. I think the reason I have trouble falling asleep has to do with being on screens before bed time. Last night I didn’t have anything on after lights out and I don’t remember falling asleep! Just takes good practice and consistency I think.
Today was good because I needed to be up early to go to the prayer meeting. It’s good to have a reason to get up and have something to look forward to.
Psalm 4:8New International Version
8 In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, Lord,
make me dwell in safety.

Oh, I have been having troubles sleeping too. It is difficult to put screens away, in an era as digital as ours. But, I have been told to stop using any devices before bed, so many times! I guess it is only worth a try.
Hi Gauri – thanks for sharing. I’m glad I’m not the only one! It usually takes an hour after turning off screens to fall asleep for me. I was listening to sleep music/meditation on You tube but I’m trying to fall asleep without it and so far it’s actually working.
