I'm been sleeping too much. And I don't really want to, it's been a hindrance. I've been trying to fight this, reading the verses to combat the love of sleep and slumber. But I keep falling back into sleepiness/slumber. I probably have a strongman that should be dealt with.

I want the evil spirits of slumber and love of sleep to be removed. I don't know what is causing this. So I'm going to need prayers for them to be eliminated. Thanks in advance.

I have almost, many times, posted to ask if anyone else was experiencing strange tiredness. It’s not normal the exhaustion I’ve been feeling for awhile now. When it hits me, I can sleep all night, wake for 4 hours, and then sleep again until evening. It’s quite bizarre. I had thought it was maybe some kind of…oppression…

And…it hits me severely and suddenly, almost as if I could fall asleep standing up…
I do like to sleep, but this is just abnormal!

I get hit by fatigue episodes too. I recently got my vitamin D checked and found I was deficient. That seems to have fixed the problem I think. But I need more time to know as I usually only get one episode per month. Much more energy daily now though.

Praying for you!

I have the opposite problem in never being able to sleep as much as my old body requires. I never had such trouble when I was young.

Give God the glory!

Look on the bright side my friend , we wont be in these bodies for ever . TRUTH is by the signs of the times
I would not expect to see white hair on my head at all . AND i am fifty . No white hairs at all yet
but the point is , I dont EXPECT to see a white head of hair on my head BEFORE JESUS DOES COME HIMSELF and carries
me and all the lambs to our FOREVER HOME IN PARADISE WITH HIM . AND that my friend IS THE FAR BETTER PLACE .
EVEN paul knew it . FAR BETTER . BUT TILL THEN we must march on doing all to point folks to Christ and exhorting daily
and SO MUCH MORE as WE SEE THE DAY APPROACHING . CAUSE OH YES ITS APPROACHING and no man knows the day nor hour .

I have felt that too . I suddenly just get so sleepy i can doze out even while reading aloud .
Its weird . I have also felt this episodes where it just feels off , really tired and weak . But then it goes away .
As for me i cant just lie down and sleep like that . I usually lie down around nine thirty
and am waking up by five am . Then i might try and doze a bit more . On and off till i just get up .

I wake up early and can't get back to sleep.

Do you eat the right stuff, and enough of it?

When I was still working full-time, I never had the problem. I worked hard and crashed quickly when I took the time to lie down to sleep. I took an early retirement from the Social Security Administration in November of 2000. Upon finishing my last workday, I went home and slept 3 days and nights getting up only to go to the bathroom. My wife was there watching over me. I have never regularly slept well since then.

As I am typing this early in the A.M. I have had only 5 hours sleep. When I am doing well, I sleep 7. Once in a while when totally exhausted I will lie down in the P.M. for a short nap.

Perhaps you're just getting old like me.:)
I'm 74 and the same thing happens to me even after a good nights sleep, I sometimes need to take a nap any old time of the day.
Or in my case it could be due to covid which I had a couple of years ago, and it could have turned into recurrent "long" covid, a symptom of which is to be hit by the occasional overwhelming desire to sleep....zzzzzzzzzzz

Maybe that explains my episodes of fatigue. I may have had COVID at the start. I went to the doctors and they wanted to test me for COVID. I denied and just got antibiotics for bronchitis. Cleared up after the antibiotics so I just forgot about it. But yeah I get these sleep episodes and fatigue.

I wonder if the @ShineTheLight has had COVID?

This is my experience as well!
Well ponder on the beauty of this , ONE DAY all lambs shall wake up to the COMING OF THE GLORIOUS LORD .
I dont think our new bodies will need one ounce of sleep either .
Just ponder on what is coming at the end of our faith . AND none of us has much time left in this ol world .
Either we breathe our last or at HIS COMING its all done and we are finally HOME .
Till then we are gonna march on in the LORD doing the things HE has us to be doing . Now lift those hands up and let the LORD
be praised my friend . OH the beauty of the LORD . PRAISE BE TO HIS HOLY NAME .

Well your work in the LORD is not over my friend . You might be retired from natural work but our work for the LORD
ends at our last breath . SO march onwards my friend and point all to Christ .
