Parish Nurse Corner

“When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.” ~Proverbs 3:24

Sleep is essential for your well-being. It is necessary for the body to recharge its batteries, heal its wounds, and regroup for another day. We all need a slightly different amount of sleep, but we all need good quality rest. This means deep, uninterrupted sleep of at least 6 hours for adults, but preferably 8, and even more for children and teenagers. Without the right amount of sleep, we become short-tempered, quick to anger, and make poor decisions. Remember to say a bedtime prayer to set the stage for a long and deep sleep.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” ~Matthew 11:28.
