Nearly all of us, at times, find ourselves unable to sleep at night. We lie awake during the dark, silent hours. This rarely happens when our hearts and souls are at peace; it usually happens when we are troubled in some way.
For this reason, do not curse your lack of sleep. These times of wakefulness have been sent by God, as a sign that something is wrong and as a period for reflection.
So when you cannot sleep, allow the thoughts that lie deepest in your heart to rise up to the surface.
St John Chrysostom
