Sleep is considered important—for one’s work productivity, for being at one’s best with family and friends, and for one’s overall enthusiasm and joy. But in many instances people find that it’s very challenging to get a good night’s sleep. According to market research, 2020 global spending on sleep aids was eighty billion dollars. 

It’s heartening to know that there is another way to approach these problems. Christian Science gives a different perspective that helps one realize harmony in every activity—including sleep, which for most people constitutes about a third of their time.

The Bible says that God is divine Love (see I John 4:8). For Father-Mother God to truly exist, God must have expression, as a song to truly exist must be sung, or a dance must be danced. God expresses Himself in spiritual ideas (each of us), who have no existence apart from God but whose only existence is their coexistence with their divine Parent.
