Hello friends today is a good opportunity to catch up on some sleep, you have a good excuse to give to the boss if they catch you taking forty winks at work, because
its World Sleep Day.This is what I got from the web.
WORLD SLEEP DAY 2010 -- MARCH 19, 2010
World Sleep Day is an international annual event, intended to be a celebration of sleep and a call to action on important issues related to sleep, including medicine, education, social aspects and driving. It aims to lessen the burden of sleep problems on society through better prevention and management of sleep disorders. World Sleep Day 2010 is being held on March 19th, under the slogan "Sleep Well, Stay Healthy". 
This marks the third World Sleep Day event organized by the World Association of Sleep Medicine. This year's event involves the organization of local groups promoting sleep health, presentation of educational materials, a competition of best productions celebrating World Sleep Day, and exhibition of historic videos. 
The World Sleep Day declaration is as follows:
Whereas, sleepiness and sleeplessness constitute a global epidemic that threatens health and quality of life,
Whereas, much can be done to prevent and treat sleepiness and sleeplessness,
Whereas, professional and public awareness are the firsts steps to action,
We hereby DECLARE that the disorders of sleep are preventable and treatable medical conditions in every country of the world.
Psalm 4 ;8 says
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety
Many nights I am unable to sleep due to worrisome thoughts or even tiring activity,or
Sheeba thanks everyone who sent her good wishes
While the neighbour 's pooch runs around in circles.
I found this photo of mules or khachchars
Some years ago they were used by city laundry men or dhobis

Great post...sleep is so important.we try to get 8 hours but its hard sometimes...and I awake in the night occasionally....I do the same as you, pray.....sometimes I think the Lord wakes me up just so I can....will be praying for your brother in law and wife..times are tough everywhere.....I don't think its going to get better either...I will pray that they can have wisdom on what to do....After my husband lost his job, we prayed and the Lord directed us to Locksmithing...
Thank you Dani. Job uncertainities makes life a hard row to hoe.
Well I won't feel bad at all about taking a nap then, LOL. I am sleepy today. Glad Sheeba is on the mend and I will pray for your family
I have horrible sleep problems. I can't even remember what it's like to get some good shut-eye. I just get up when I can't sleep. In summer I will walk outside and sit around.
"It is vain for you to rise up early, to lie down late, to eat the bread of sorrows: so to his beloved one he giveth sleep." Psalm 127: 2.
I think that we are given wakeful nights to pray in.
Amrita! You are just so funny! Sleeplessness is not a funny thing but somehow this post just got me laughing!
Dear Amrita,
I have pried for your sister and brother in law.
My motheralways says,"there's a lot of healing in a good night's sleep.
Valerina or chamomile tea may help.
So many an easy hour before going to sleep,to lower the adrenalin levels. Read the Bible and pray yourself to sleep, that works too.

I should've read this yesterday. I've virtually become a 24 hours man, sleeping very less (sometimes dozing off here using the keyboard as pillow).:)
I have a theory about sleeplessness (is that a word?) When I have not been able to sleep. One of three things seem to always work. Pray - of course with my head on the pillow, I am trying to go to sleep - read the scriptures, or quote scripture that I have memorizied. Satan hates all three of these things and he puts me right to sleep.
On a lighter notelet me mention that when my sisters were at home and during summer nights our sleep was disrupted due to power failure we had a midnight feast . Those were the good old days
Hmm, that is interesting that the mules have now been banned in the cities. Well, I can understand why, perhaps in the interests of keeping the sidewalks cleaner! Sometimes cops here ride horses about in the city, but very few, not enough to create a problem. Even New York still has a few horse drawn cabs for show. I often can't sleep and do as you do to try to pass the time until sleep comes! Meditation. I find if I get up to write that is overstimulating and I don't get my rest so I just try to sit a while in my recliner with my feet up and my lap robe across me, that seems to work best, but no sleeping potions! They can so easily get addictive. If I have something worrisome on the mind, I try to have patience because I know that too will pass. I hope your sister and brother-in-law don't have to suffer too badly in the economic downturn. Arizona has been hit hard, but my kids are doing pretty well.
Sleep is a common activity of man, as common as eating, drinking and talking. That man will find it hard to sleep is testament to his abusive life patterns. Stress and the worries of the world sometimes deprive man with his much needed rest and sleep. Sleep is the natural process for regeneration for man. While asleep, his various vital organs keep on working and regenerating so that when a man awakens he feels refreshed and revitalized. The best way to have a good night sleep is to pray and meditate on the word of God. Our guardian angel will lull us to sleep. Thanks for the post. God bless you always.
Dear Mel, my neighbours are Christians, they hve this dog which they let run loose all over, they don 't allow him in the house, all they do is to feed him once a day.They just want him to guard their house. These people are very good neighbours in every respect except their pet responsibilities. Guess its a cross I have to bear. Maybe God has a lesson somewhere in there for me, I don 't know. I also have to protect Sheeba from the dog - he untamed without any anti rabies shots etc.
GreyQuill thank you for your significant point.
Hi C-A so glad we can smile and laugh together. Hope Kinza is doing well and Mini too.
