God’s Gift of Sleep

Did you know your brain never stops working? It’s hard at it during the day, but at night it really ramps up. As you rest, your brain gets to work, processing, organizing, and storing all the information you learned throughout the day.

And that’s not all. Your brain also gets rid of waste, repairs cells, and moves memories to long-term storage.

For children, it produces growth hormones. Yes, eighty-six billion brain cells are busy communicating with each other to coordinate all this, and more—whew! And you thought you were resting!

The activity of rest is just another example of God’s design. We’re fearfully and wonderfully made.
