A study released this week in the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion shows that a strong faith could be the key to a good night's sleep, the Religion News website reports today (January 17, 2019).
Researchers found that those who believe in salvation and feel they have an unshakable relationship with God tend to sleep longer, fall asleep faster, and feel more rested in the morning, according to Terrence Hill, associate professor at the University of Arizona School of Sociology.
Their research, Hill explained, "also shows that religion can indirectly promote sleep by protecting against other risk factors -- in this case, stress."
According to the National Sleep Foundation, people tend to be too stressed to sleep when they can't turn off their minds, and instead replay their worries or frustration.
