How to get a good night sleep ?

1)Acknowledge the love of God.
"But God has shown us how much he loves us--it was while we were still sinners that Christ died for us!" Romans 5:8
" For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die, but have eternal life John 3:16"

2)Acknowledge the protection of God.
"God will put his angels in charge of you to protect you wherever you go .Psalms 91:11"
"The Lord is my shepherd; I have everything I need."
"Even if I go through the deepest darkness, I will not be afraid, Lord, for you are with me, Your shepherd' s rod and staff protect me; Psalms 23:1,4"
"Are not two sparrows sold for one farthing? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father: but the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore; ye are of more value than many sparrows" Matthew 10: 29-31

3)Do not concentrate too much on self.
"And he said to them all, "if anyone wants to come to me, he must forget himself, take up his cross everyday, and follow me. Luke: 9:23"

4)If you are trying to tackle unresolved problems of the day, tell yourself that your mind now is only ready for sleeping, not logic thinking. You take so much time to come up with a solution, but when you wake up next morning, you will find out that it is not feasible. So shut down your thinking facilities and go right to sleep.

5)Pray to God about your fears or concerns, ask Him for His guidance.
" Don't worry over anything whatsoever; tell God every detail of your needs in earnest and thankful prayer, and the peace of God, which transcends human understanding, will keep constant guard over your hearts and minds as they rest in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

6)Surrender to the will of God. Nothing will happen without God's permission.
" What has happened is my will" 1 King 12: 24
7) Take one or two tablets of calcium magnesium may help to calm you down.

8) Do not sleep with light on, as this may reduce the level of melatonin necessary to induce sleeping.
