Matt 6:33
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version. (2016). (Mt 6:33). Wheaton: Standard Bible Society.
This is a verse memorized long ago and from time to time I think on it. To remember that our Father knows what we need. In context, Jesus tells us not to be anxious for what we will shall eat, drink or wear. That our Father knows what we need. However, at times there is internal anxiety about what it is we have or want and can not retain that brings about harm.
Sleep And Thinkers
Boston, Mass—The people who dismissed deep thinkers like Albert Einstein, as “dreamers” were right, a Boston sleep researcher says.
Dr. Ernest Hartmann said his studies show those who need more than nine hours of sleep every night are worriers who apparently mull over their problems while they dream. Those who sleep fewer than six hours a night—like Thomas Edison and Napoleon—tend to be efficient people who push problems aside and get on with the job, he said.
“One might suggest very roughly that great men in the sense of “tortured genuises” might be more likely to be long sleepers,” said Hartmann of Boston state hospital, where he has studied sleep habits since 1969. “Great men in the sense of extremely effective, practical persons—administrators, applied scientists, political leaders, perhaps—may tend to be short sleepers,” he said in an interview. The main difference in what kind of sleep each group gets seems to be how much they dream, he said. The long sleepers in his study spent two or three times as long in rapid eye movement or “REM” sleep, the period when dreams occur, he said. He speculated they need the extra dreaming to resolve mental and emotional needs.
