Welcome to the article on the topic of Mattresses, Pills or Peace!  Each of these individual words represent what is advertised as the finest means of achieving quality rest during your sleeping hours.  Let's examine each one for their individual value:

Everywhere you go someone is advertising the world's best mattress.  As you listen to them they begin by telling you everything that is wrong about all other types or styles of mattresses.  According to competing Companies, one brand uses too many metal springs that eventually become too ridged and as you lay down you can feel old springs pressing against various places on your body.  Another mattress company complains that one of their major competitor's mattresses wrap around your body's form and over time become completely inflexible should your body become smaller through diet and exercise.  

On the other hand, there exist mattress Companies that do not use metal springs, or wrapping and inflexible material.  It seems that each half of the mattress may be controlled for firmness and heat in order to keep both husband and wife individually happy for a better nights sleep.

As for me, personally I am waiting for the mattress that plays and sings all my favorite songs, a minimum of at least 2,000 selections and many different genres to accommodate my mood on any given night.  Actually, I would be tempted to call such a mattress - Rock Myself To Sleep!

Pharmaceutical Companies offer dozens of various types of sleeping pills and are producing new kinds every year.  Some sleeping pills assist a person to simply fall to sleep, while others help a man or woman fall asleep and then another ingredient in the same pill helps the person to remain asleep.  You must give yourself to a 7-8 hour period of sleep or you just might be found walking the cat down a country road!  J

There seem to be two problems.  First of all, millions of people cannot seem to come to peace in their heart and minds well enough to fall asleep and rest well through the night.  Secondly, sleeping pills promoted by professional Companies just so happen to be habit forming.  In other words, just try to up and quit taking your sleeping pills and fall asleep without them.  I am confident you have heard of 'coming down or off' of an addiction.  Millions of people try to quit smoking dozens of times, now imagine what it would be like not sleeping for a month!

You can buy a new and improved mattress every year.  You can try each and every new sleeping pill invented.  The bottom line is that mattresses and pills are not the true problem in your life.  The lack of peace is the problem such people face at night.  You can't be comfortable, fall asleep and stay asleep using products made by the hands of man.  You will only be more and more frustrated all the time, and you know this to be true from experience.

GOD'S Word is not silent on this topic - 

And -  

There it is, comfort and sleep come from your daily relationship with the LORD.  Life is most often lived in the so called fast lane, it's all too easy to put daily needs in front of spiritual needs and then find yourself without peace in your life.  What does that do?  It puts you and the search for the most comfortable mattress in the world, and or the newest, sleep walking, sleeping pills.  Bottom line, you miss out on the peace GOD has for all those who turn to HIM.   Why not become addicted to GOD and sleep anywhere and anytime without trouble?
