Get the sleep your body needs in order for you to be as effective as you can be. The solution to this problem is to understand that getting enough sleep is our spiritual duty and to schedule our lives to be sure we are being faithful to God by practicing good sleep habits. This sleep problem exists largely because we refuse to make healthy sleeping habits our norm and to recognize that God expects us to take care of our bodies. If we fail to get the sleep we need, we seriously risk doing harm to our bodies.
We see that Americans have a sleep deprivation problem. Transition: This brings me to my conclusion. This involves deliberately planning out your day, limiting potential distractions, saying no to non-essential tasks, and being disciplined enough to stick to your schedule. With this as our motivation, we understand that we must be good stewards of our time during the day so that we can be good stewards of our sleeping time at night.Ĭ. 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 reads, “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit…you are not your own…so glorify God in your body.” (ESV) As Christians, we must make it a priority to be good stewards of the body God has entrusted us with.ī. The solution to the problem of sleep deprivation is to understand that God values our health and wants us to take care of the bodies He has given us.Ī. Transition: This brings me to my third and final point. I know from personal experience that if I fail to make something a priority and don’t see it as important, I likely will not do it well. Adults wouldn’t have as much trouble getting more sleep if they simply would move good sleeping habits toward the top of their individual priority lists. They know it’s a problem but they have trouble practicing healthy sleeping habits. Adults report the main reason they don’t get the sleep they need is that they are too busy. Despite these negative effects, Americans generally do not take their need for sleep very seriously.Ī. Transition: This brings me to my second point.

Sleep deprivation can also cause obesity. A test by University of Pennsylvania that showed subjects who had gone 2 weeks with less than 6 hrs of sleep per night were just as impaired as people who had gone 48 hrs consecutively without sleep. Sleep deprivation causes cognitive and mood problems. Adults need 7–9 hours of sleep per night but the average American adult only gets about 6.9 hours (Drake, Kryger, Phillips, 2005).ī. Sleep deprivation is a common problem with detrimental effects.Ī. Transition: Let’s take a closer look at this important topic. I will validate this statement by discussing how sleep deprivation is a common problem, how the problem exists because people fail to deem it as important, and that a solution should be based around a Godly view of our bodies that urges us to be disciplined to manage our time better. Sleep deprivation, as a common problem in America today, can have detrimental effects on society, but God calls his people to counter this problem in our own lives by utilizing good time management and discipline. To have time for everything in the day and how this takes discipline. I also understand how difficult it can be Without it, you are unlikely to reach your full potential and to achieve your goals with excellence.Īs a Christian, college student, (former) working wife, and now pregnant mother, I personally understand the issue of sleep deprivation and how it can have detrimental effects on the body.
Getting the right amount of sleep is vitally important. How do you feel when your alarm clock goes off in the morning? Tempted to press snooze several times before finally getting up? If so, you are not alone. (Alarm clock) We all know this familiar sound.
