From Insomnia to Deep Sleep

About 70 million Americans suffer from sleep problems; among them, nearly 60 percent have a chronic disorder. Each year, sleep disorders, sleep deprivation, and sleepiness add an estimated $15.9 billion to the national health care bill. Research shows that there is a rise in sleep disorders in the general population world-wide, but particularly for children and teens. Psalm 4 is a bedtime prayer that acknowledges real stress but gives us words to sleep by.
