Sleep… I'm so tired

This is the second of my three posts for today. I'm splitting them out because they're all about different things.

Today and then be teaching you about sleep. That is a funny thing to teach about, but there is a little bit you can learn to it.

I know a lot of our generation has been shunned because, “we’re the laziest ever, and all we ever do is sleep.” For some of us that's true, but as I've said before, teens are often misunderstood. With the stuff I've committed myself too—and several people have committed themselves to more than I have—I've become very tired and not been able to sleep as much as I've wanted to. I don't really like taking naps, but it's gotten so bad, that I just had to today. It didn't really help, it was just a waste of time. But I will probably go to bed early, I'm tired of always wanting to fall asleep in all of my classes.

And I do actually have some scripture on sleeping as well. In Matthew 26, Jesus went to a place called Gethsemane to pray. He told his disciples to wait in a spot and went farther down.

40Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Could you men not keep watch for one hour?” he asked Peter. 41“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.”

When you're at home and you have no obligations, it's fine to take a nap. I still don't like to because I never know what may come up. But it actually says in the Bible (in a different way), “If you snooze, you lose.” So if your sleeping in class or sleeping 12 hours every day, believe it or not, your going against Biblical text.

Hopefully, I can get to bed pretty early today. This is the one reason I love finals.
