Something no human can go without and almost everything in the animal kingdom must have as well (except for ants, supposedly)....sleep. It is such a beautiful thing and a calming and relaxing thing. I think it has been purposed by God to keep us undercontrol in our daily lives lest we run ourselves crazy and stressed out all the time. Because our bodies can only go so far before the brain will shut itself down and force the body to sleep. This used to happen to pilots before laws were passed focing them to sleep so much during a set amount of hours. They would find themsleves an hour later having fell asleep at the helm! Their brain was litterally forcing them to sleep. I see that it is another way that God is showing our feebleness, and magnifies His strength. Praise God that He who is all powerful never sleeps! He needs nothing that we need. Yet we must look at our limitations as people and instead of cursing them and seeing them as annoyances we must look to God and see his perfect strength and give him Glory.
I was reminded of this by my son, Josiah. Here is a video of him fighting sleep:
