Sleepiness During the Day Could be God Trying to Speak to You!

Sleepiness During the Day Could be God Trying to Speak to You!
By Doug Addison

I recently read Acts 10:10 and I noticed that Peter fell asleep during prayer and went into a trance and received revelation from God. Last week when I was speaking at a conference in South Africa the presence of angels came in the room and the crowd all got real sleepy. I am not really one to take naps during the day. A few years ago I was at a conference sitting on the front row and suddenly a wave of sleepiness hit me hard. I leaned my head back and drifted for just a few moments, and it lifted. I looked over at my friend sitting next to me and the same thing had happened to him. We concluded that when a woman sat down next to us who had been personally mentored by and ministered for years with Corrie ten Boom, (a minister who survived the Holocaust), the presence of God and ministering angles came with her. The anointing of God was so strong that it caused those sitting around her to experience a biblical trance which most thought was just sleepiness.

Yesterday I was about to buy a product on the internet. Then I got really sleepy all of a sudden, which seemed very unusual since I had just had a cup of tea. I lay down for just a few minutes and it lifted. All of a sudden I was struck with the idea to research the product further even though it was advertised on TV. I found a Web site that exposed it as a rip-off and that there are products available for a fraction of the price that work better. I am now more aware of the waves of unusual sleepiness that come suddenly. The next time you get hit with a wave of sleepiness that seems out of character, instead of getting a cup of coffee you may want to lay down for a minute. It could be God trying to speak to you!

    This happens everytime I read or have the bible read to me. I can stay awake on social media, listening to music, watching a movie or searching internet. I do believe it is a spiritual attack on my end.

      You could try rebuking it when you read your Bible and decree you are alert for the Word of God.

    It could be the adversary trying to put you sleep to avoid the work that must be done or to thwart you from having the experience you were supposed to have; especially when the sleepiness is unusual such as when you about to read the scriptures and meditate on spiritual things…within 10 minutes you’re asleep, why? Put on a game or some movie and you’re up till early hours binge watching Fringe yet you couldn’t stay awake to read. There may be certain spirits of the order of satan that specifically entice us to sleep, sleep demons if you will. Just a thought

    I have been noticing a trend at times of the day when I just shouldn’t be tired. It usually happens during or just after a period of bible reading, or prayer. I often wondered about it and recently started making the and decided this time to Google it.
    Thanks for the blog.

    Great article. It explains how at our weekly prayer meetings a sense of the presence of God is mixed with an overwhelming wave of sleepiness. I will be less reluctant to yield next time.
    Thanks Doug

    You don’t have to lay down long. It can just be 2 min with your eyes closed on your break or in the restroom.

    I’m very surprised to read this article. This week I’ve been hit by waves of sleepiness every day at work, which is very unusual for me. So, any tips on what to do, if any, when it happens again? My problem is I can’t really close my eyes at work…

    I’ve also experienced this kind of sudden sleepiness after personal worship, Bible study or watching/hearing an impactful message. Like you, I’ve learned that the Lord is weaving whatever I was attending to deep into my spirit. I usually awaken from vivid, inspiring and motivating dreams! Isn’t our God just the coolest?
