When I hit the pillow at night I like to put the worries of the day out of my mind and dwell on good thoughts. That helps you have a good nights sleep, which is vital for good health. You have to get into a deep sleep so as to manufacture lots of Endorphins. Endorphins are chemicals produced naturally by the nervous system to cope with pain or stress. They are often called “feel-good” chemicals because they can act as a pain reliever and happiness booster. So maybe some would like to post the nice thoughts that come into their mind before they go to sleep. What I am about to post is a song my Brother used to often sing. Came into my mind today. I could sing it to you, but that would ruin it. AT THE END OF THE DAY (Donald O'Keefe) At the end of the day just kneel and say “Thank you, Lord, for my work and play”. I’ve tried to be good, for I know that I should That’s a prayer for the end of the day. So when the new dawn begins to break Just lift up your eyes, let your heart awake Be ready to meet what the day may send And be ready to greet every man as a friend Nobody knows what a power you have found So do what you can for the others around Carry them high when they seem to be low As on your way you go. At the end of the day just kneel and say “Thank you, Lord, for my work and play”. I’ve tried to be good, for I know that I should That’s my prayer at the end of the day. Here is Gracie Fields singing it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkpFKiuzmuQ

I'm guessing that Kefir and Guinness also help you sleep?

i often read scripture before bed this verse among many helps to settle me down for sleep: Mat_24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. or the best verse ever: Joh_3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

A time or two the book has fallen on my face and I wake up fast thinking something is attacking me!
But I wonder if I ever do go into a deep sleep because when I wake up it is always from a dream.
Often it seems to be continuation of some dream before.

Haha, I'd fall asleep reading the Kids a story, well not so much of late as they're growing up but used to happen all the time, they thought it was hilarious 🤪.

Clearly there are no faithful professing people left around here... Hymn187 Conclude the day with God Thy sins to Him confess Trust in the Lord's atoning blood And plead His righteousness
The end of the day is the time to pray about what a horrible sinner you are and how you've fallen so short that day.
It is not time to feel good with alcohol, a worldly book or your XBox.
Hopefully those nightly routines at least improve briefly when the workers come to visit.

I occasionally wake up, realize it's not time to get up, turn over, and the same dream continues. I love it.

I like reading some notes with a small glass of port before bed and sleep. I'm sure you won't be alarmed by this, but I remember Andrew Abernathy at one of our conventions saying the :anyone who has ever touched a drink of alcohol to their lips is none of us." Not everyone took it well. A relative of mine got up and took her three kids out of the meeting and went home.

I understand this, and if anyone has an issue with a predilection to being addicted to something where it takes over, then self discipline is to be commended.
As for Andrew Abernathy's comment, if it is true, then I understand the lady going home.
An old worker down under here who spent years in New Guinea, Syd Preshaw, once said, "Even if you hear it from from the workers up here on the convention platform, if it is wrong, then ignore it, and feel free to talk to the worker about it."

He needs to go to Switzerland and Germany where beer and wine are served at the table.

Bob you are so lucky that your dream is continued when you go back to sleep. Not so often now, but occasionally I have one of those nice dreams. You know what I mean, sort of R rated. Just when you are getting to the best part you wake up. Damn. You try to get back to sleep as fast as you can, but never does it continue. You are left up in the air and shattered.

Not that time. We always had something alcoholic in the house, common medicinal treatment, but never for "beverage". A lot of old people were upset at his characterization of the "problem" -- most of them had never seen Abernathy before and figured he didn't understand who he was talking to.

I give myself permission to close my eyes tonight, and awake refreshed tomorrow. I am allowed to drift into a good night’s sleep. My body, mind, and soul are worthy of their rest.
What I've done today is enough, and now I allow myself time to rest.

I let go of fear, worry, anger, and blame. I release anxieties and stress. I release the heaviness of today and the weight on my shoulders. I let go of negative thoughts, and keep the happy ones. In my sleep will I find the freedom to know joy and peace again.

With Every Breath
With every breath I take today, I vow to be awake; And every step I take, I vow to take with a grateful heart. So I may see with eyes of love Into the hearts of all I meet, To ease their burden when I can And touch them with a smile of peace.

I am learning a lot from some on here . Good thoughts 💭 were really tough . Can I whine 🍷 now ? Oh woe’s me . Mom took another fall , she is no longer speaking due to Parkinson’s . I was going to move her to another floor . After much debate with family and 2X2’s , yep I like hearing 2X2 opinions . I am not doing so . When I have to speak to my bro , I just gotta be willing to make myself . Wednesday the president of the USA 🇺🇸 got his faithful to act ! Thursday my halter monitor (heart) has brought news 📰 I am not willing to accept diagnosis at this moment . Friday a.m. my bestie’s husband Chris , with only one lung had tests run by neurologist and transplant team . She called me immediately after to talk and cry . We have been told it’s rejecting the lung and there is a huge leak in the lung . Nothing they can do . He doesn’t know yet . She is going to hospital in Dallas today with support to tell her husband of over 30 years . I will be on FaceTime for the meeting . I will be speaking to Chris on my own as requested . He has orders for me . Heartbroken 💔 for all family . That is a week full . Good thoughts 💭 I am ok with what the universe brings . Good thought of applying to go there on those grounds . 3 hours and 41 minutes of possible COVID19 on a plane . Selfish thoughts ........ Dig in and meditate good thoughts before bed ! My bestie will be doing the same . I got her into yoga and Friday she requested to watch my meditation for herself to do as well . That’s a wrap ! I will sleep well tonight , just fired off a email to government branches , whom want .......... VACCINES FOR INMATES FIRST .........
