The American
population takes over
00:00:01.06\00:00:02.32
60 million prescriptions
for sleeping pills everyday.
00:00:02.35\00:00:06.35
However, there's been
a body growing evidence
00:00:06.38\00:00:08.72
that sleeping pills also
increase your risk of death.
00:00:08.75\00:00:12.39
What can be done?
00:00:12.42\00:00:13.45
Well, today's
program is entitled
00:00:13.48\00:00:15.20
"Seeking Shut Eye."
We'll be right back.
00:00:15.23\00:00:18.29
Hi, welcome to
"Abundant Living."
00:00:42.40\00:00:44.13
This is Curtis
Eakins your co-host,
00:00:44.16\00:00:46.63
which means I have
another host with me as well.
00:00:46.66\00:00:49.19
And that would be
Paula Eakins. Oh, okay.
00:00:49.22\00:00:52.69
But you do honey. Okay.
00:00:52.72\00:00:53.87
You were just
about to say your name
00:00:53.90\00:00:54.93
but I just jumped
right in front of you, right.
00:00:54.96\00:00:57.04
Yeah, you got, you
were hesitating little bit
00:00:57.07\00:00:59.25
as though you were wondering
and then you threw it in. Yeah.
00:00:59.28\00:01:01.27
I was just getting
ready to throw out.
00:01:01.30\00:01:02.48
But now, you
want to say your name
00:01:02.51\00:01:03.61
because I just like
to hear you talking away.
00:01:03.64\00:01:05.22
Say your name, you
can still you do it.
00:01:05.25\00:01:08.96
You're not going
to do it. We're fine.
00:01:08.99\00:01:11.72
Let's go with the
"Seeking Shut Eye."
00:01:11.75\00:01:13.00
Let's move on with
the- with shutting the eyes.
00:01:13.03\00:01:15.32
What did you say?
00:01:15.35\00:01:16.70
Well, it's "Seeking Shut Eye"
but we'll close our eyes too.
00:01:16.73\00:01:19.20
And seeking is
definitely something.
00:01:19.23\00:01:20.63
You're checking for leaks.
00:01:20.66\00:01:22.18
Seeking is definitely something
that is definitely needed.
00:01:22.21\00:01:26.62
Oh, yes. You know.
00:01:26.65\00:01:27.89
Your sleeping pills, I mean,
00:01:27.92\00:01:28.95
they're growing at
an increasing rates.
00:01:28.98\00:01:31.17
Sleeping pills, people
are taking that all the times
00:01:31.20\00:01:33.54
so it's been
like I say it before,
00:01:33.57\00:01:35.64
growing by the evidence that
00:01:35.67\00:01:37.54
there's now been
a increase of death,
00:01:37.57\00:01:40.19
those who are
taking sleeping pills.
00:01:40.23\00:01:42.31
Medical journal,
just came out recently
00:01:42.34\00:01:43.77
the British Medical Journal.
00:01:43.80\00:01:44.91
So Time Magazine, I
mentioned that as well.
00:01:44.94\00:01:47.85
So now this is a series,
00:01:47.88\00:01:49.75
ah, running series on
the eight natural remedies.
00:01:49.78\00:01:54.91
And Seventh-day
Adventist Christians
00:01:54.94\00:01:56.80
have embraced the
eight natural remedies
00:01:56.83\00:01:58.85
who're doctors for many years.
00:01:58.92\00:02:00.73
Which is the reason
why, many of us live longer
00:02:00.76\00:02:03.60
and have a increased
measure of health I should say.
00:02:03.63\00:02:08.25
But now those
individuals may not understand
00:02:08.28\00:02:10.82
or may not have heard of
the eight natural remedies.
00:02:10.85\00:02:13.17
So, honey, let's walk in through
00:02:13.20\00:02:14.90
what are those
eight natural remedies
00:02:14.93\00:02:16.92
and how can you learn
about or remember them.
00:02:16.95\00:02:20.49
Well, the you know the
eight natural remedies are-
00:02:20.52\00:02:22.22
it's actually an acronym.
00:02:22.25\00:02:23.62
The acronym is
actually 'NEWSTART.'
00:02:23.65\00:02:26.25
And the 'N'
stands for nutrition,
00:02:26.28\00:02:28.42
the 'E' for
exercise, the 'W' for water,
00:02:28.45\00:02:32.86
the 'S' for sunshine,
the 'T' for temperance,
00:02:32.89\00:02:39.27
the 'A' for
air, the 'R' for rest
00:02:39.30\00:02:42.72
and the 'T' for
trust in divine guidance.
00:02:42.75\00:02:45.21
I don't want to get out of order
00:02:45.24\00:02:46.33
because I know some of you
have been watching this show.
00:02:46.36\00:02:48.41
And you said that we're
supposed to spell 'NEWSTART.'
00:02:48.44\00:02:51.21
So what's happening
here, what's happening here,
00:02:51.24\00:02:53.15
I don't want to confuse you,
I don't want to confuse you.
00:02:53.18\00:02:55.23
So it's the
sunshine, the temperance,
00:02:55.26\00:02:57.81
the air and rest and
trust in divine guidance.
00:02:57.84\00:02:59.88
And once again
trust in divine guidance
00:02:59.91\00:03:02.34
is actually the
way in which to be able
00:03:02.37\00:03:03.99
to do any of those,
eight natural remedies.
00:03:04.02\00:03:06.25
And there was a
gentleman that had a hard time
00:03:06.28\00:03:07.96
trying to remember
it the whole acronym.
00:03:07.99\00:03:11.19
And he actually
coined that 'NEWSTART.'
00:03:11.22\00:03:13.39
And along with that
it's been easy to remember
00:03:13.42\00:03:15.16
but it's in both
books- Ministry of Healing
00:03:15.19\00:03:17.64
which is written
by Ellen G. White
00:03:17.67\00:03:18.92
and also Counsels on Health.
00:03:18.95\00:03:20.65
And so we going be talk a little
bit more about that as well.
00:03:20.68\00:03:23.32
Now you know, we always talk
00:03:23.36\00:03:24.61
about these eight
natural remedies. That's true.
00:03:24.64\00:03:27.13
And we want to
definitely look at the-
00:03:27.16\00:03:29.92
we call the two references
00:03:29.95\00:03:31.81
and number uno, the
very first reference.
00:03:31.84\00:03:33.89
And that
reference is God Himself.
00:03:33.92\00:03:35.77
Yes, we'll be using God's
word, that's correct honey.
00:03:35.80\00:03:39.21
That is the standard of truth
00:03:39.24\00:03:40.67
in our series here
at ''Abundant Living.''
00:03:40.70\00:03:42.87
And then the second reference
00:03:42.90\00:03:44.12
is the author, the co-founder
00:03:44.15\00:03:46.24
of Seventh-day Adventist
church, Ellen G. White,
00:03:46.27\00:03:48.44
which actually that 'NEWSTART'
came from that author.
00:03:48.47\00:03:53.03
She says that
there are many ways
00:03:53.06\00:03:55.07
of practicing the healing arts,
00:03:55.10\00:03:56.98
there is only one
way that heaven approves.
00:03:57.01\00:03:58.84
And then the next sentence
00:03:58.87\00:04:00.06
she list those
eight natural remedies.
00:04:00.09\00:04:02.57
So we're covering
those eight natural remedies
00:04:02.61\00:04:04.47
and of course, today is
rest, "Seeking Shut Eye."
00:04:04.51\00:04:09.61
I'll tell you there are so many
people that are so stressed out.
00:04:09.64\00:04:14.18
Whether its, they're
not getting enough rest
00:04:14.21\00:04:16.36
or the fact that there is a lot
of stuff going on in your life.
00:04:16.39\00:04:19.14
So that's seeking that
shut eye is so important,
00:04:19.17\00:04:21.66
so key. Yes, it is.
00:04:21.69\00:04:22.72
So let's look at
what does God's word
00:04:22.75\00:04:24.29
have to really say about sleep.
00:04:24.32\00:04:27.00
Well let's turn
to the Word of God.
00:04:27.03\00:04:28.79
Ecclesiastes 5:12,
00:04:28.82\00:04:32.54
Ecclesiastes 5:12, hopefully
you have your Bibles handy
00:04:32.57\00:04:35.84
because we're going to
be looking at God's Word
00:04:35.87\00:04:38.13
throughout this series.
00:04:38.16\00:04:39.19
The Bible says "The sleep
of a laboring man is sweet,
00:04:39.22\00:04:45.58
whether he eat little or much
00:04:45.61\00:04:48.66
but the abundance of the rich
will not suffer him to sleep."
00:04:48.69\00:04:54.37
Or not permit him
to sleep, the rich.
00:04:54.40\00:04:57.47
I think I'll
read this text honey.
00:04:57.50\00:04:59.17
You know, Jesus said that
it would be harder for rich man
00:04:59.20\00:05:01.70
to enter to the kingdom of God
00:05:01.73\00:05:03.87
than the camel go
through the eye of a needle.
00:05:03.90\00:05:06.49
I think a lot of times wealth,
00:05:06.52\00:05:08.65
people have a tendency
to rely on their wealth,
00:05:08.68\00:05:11.36
their money as
far as their support
00:05:11.39\00:05:15.62
as opposed to
relying on Jesus Christ,
00:05:15.65\00:05:18.26
their personal Savior.
00:05:18.29\00:05:19.53
So I think with that in mind
there tend to be more anxiety,
00:05:19.56\00:05:23.93
more stress because
money is not permanent.
00:05:23.96\00:05:27.46
You cannot really count
on your wealth or money.
00:05:27.49\00:05:30.72
Therefore a lot of
times people may be worry
00:05:30.75\00:05:33.14
or stressed up
because of the wealth
00:05:33.17\00:05:34.96
that they may have and
they rely on that as well.
00:05:34.99\00:05:37.43
So that's why the Bible says
that the labor man is sweet.
00:05:37.46\00:05:41.60
So, you know,
working will be fine,
00:05:41.63\00:05:43.79
that helps you to go to
sleep but again the rich
00:05:43.82\00:05:47.55
they would not be
permitted to go to sleep.
00:05:47.58\00:05:49.97
So I think the Word
of God is clearer far as-
00:05:50.00\00:05:52.80
Now if you have
money, you can still
00:05:52.84\00:05:54.38
believe on Jesus Christ,
it's still just the same.
00:05:54.41\00:05:57.62
Well, I think there's some
truth in this text as well.
00:05:57.65\00:06:00.00
Now, with that in mind,
00:06:00.03\00:06:01.38
let's go to
Proverbs 3:24, Proverbs 3:24.
00:06:01.41\00:06:09.37
And the Word of God says
this "When thou liest down,
00:06:09.40\00:06:13.45
thou shalt not be afraid,
yea, thou shalt lie down,
00:06:13.48\00:06:18.42
and thy sleep shall be sweet.
00:06:18.45\00:06:21.67
Be not afraid of sudden fear,
00:06:21.70\00:06:24.09
neither of desolation of
the wicked when it cometh.
00:06:24.12\00:06:27.87
For the Lord
shall be thy confidence,
00:06:27.90\00:06:31.05
and shall keep thy
foot from being taken."
00:06:31.08\00:06:35.22
So let's rely on
Christ our confidence
00:06:35.25\00:06:38.73
and not be afraid.
00:06:38.76\00:06:40.99
He has our back and He
would be our real rear guard.
00:06:41.02\00:06:44.43
And so
therefore, with that in mind
00:06:44.46\00:06:46.40
thus rely on
Christ to protect us.
00:06:46.43\00:06:49.02
Because lot of
people they worry,
00:06:49.05\00:06:50.77
they are
fearful, they are afraid
00:06:50.80\00:06:52.76
and they cannot go to
sleep and have a restful sleep.
00:06:52.79\00:06:55.95
So the Word of God is
clear as far as going back
00:06:55.98\00:06:58.37
to God's Word and going
back to relying on Christ,
00:06:58.40\00:07:02.29
our Lord, Savior in Jesus
Christ in His protection for us.
00:07:02.32\00:07:06.34
We know the trivial
thing that we ever get
00:07:06.37\00:07:07.97
is proper sleep. That's true.
00:07:08.00\00:07:09.43
Whether you
worry about your bills
00:07:09.46\00:07:10.86
or worry about your children
00:07:10.89\00:07:12.26
or your job or
you know your home,
00:07:12.29\00:07:14.75
all kind of things that
can get us worked up. Right.
00:07:14.78\00:07:16.77
When its time to actually
lie down to go to sleep. Yes.
00:07:16.80\00:07:20.35
I found for myself that
it's just better to pray
00:07:20.38\00:07:25.11
before I go to bed and
then just let God takeover.
00:07:25.14\00:07:28.25
Because, you know,
worried about everything
00:07:28.28\00:07:30.02
it could happen while
you're sleep at night, you know.
00:07:30.05\00:07:32.17
I always say that its funny
00:07:32.20\00:07:33.71
because we have
our doors locked.
00:07:33.74\00:07:35.48
deadbolts on, all
that stuff around,
00:07:35.51\00:07:37.38
alarm systems and everything.
00:07:37.41\00:07:38.70
But really and truly if
somebody want to get in,
00:07:38.73\00:07:40.36
they can get
in. They can get in.
00:07:40.39\00:07:41.55
So God always
say, God has angels
00:07:41.58\00:07:44.93
that stay around
our home 24/7. 24/7.
00:07:44.96\00:07:49.17
So I don't even get myself
worked up about that part.
00:07:49.20\00:07:51.80
And I know once I prayed
and thank Him for that day.
00:07:51.83\00:07:54.23
That is easier for me to
just lie down and go to sleep.
00:07:54.26\00:07:57.38
And the Bible says, "We
have sweet sleep." Absolutely.
00:07:57.41\00:08:00.37
And the other one says,
00:08:00.40\00:08:01.43
"A labor man
sleep is also sweet."
00:08:01.46\00:08:05.02
So both references
relates to sleep being sweet.
00:08:05.05\00:08:09.57
Sweet, ah.
00:08:09.60\00:08:11.57
Well, what about Ellen
White our Christian author
00:08:11.60\00:08:14.30
and she talks
about sleep as well.
00:08:14.33\00:08:16.21
Well, she does
and this is one place
00:08:16.24\00:08:19.33
where we're going
to mention also about
00:08:19.36\00:08:21.01
the importance
of air, fresh air.
00:08:21.04\00:08:23.03
We want to mention
that in American Idle
00:08:23.06\00:08:25.60
but we ran out of time.
00:08:25.63\00:08:26.66
So we're going to mention
here in this program here.
00:08:26.69\00:08:29.33
Let's go to the screen and see
00:08:29.36\00:08:30.39
what she says
about sweet dreams.
00:08:30.42\00:08:34.31
"Air...will prove a
precious soother of nerves,
00:08:34.34\00:08:39.47
imparting a degree of serenity
00:08:39.50\00:08:42.30
and induces sound sweet sleep."
00:08:42.33\00:08:47.89
Counsels on
Health, page 60. Wow.
00:08:47.92\00:08:49.87
So again you have a lot
of sweet sleep going around.
00:08:49.90\00:08:52.84
You have laboring man
working produces sweet sleep.
00:08:52.87\00:08:57.85
Trusting on God to protect,
he produces sweet sleep.
00:08:57.88\00:09:00.95
Now, we have the fresh air.
00:09:00.98\00:09:03.59
The sooth, the nerves and
also produces sound sweet sleep.
00:09:03.62\00:09:09.60
And you've to unpack that.
00:09:09.63\00:09:11.01
You have to unpack
that part right there
00:09:11.04\00:09:13.29
about how does
that the fresh air.
00:09:13.32\00:09:15.82
What part does that play
in giving you sound sleep?
00:09:15.85\00:09:18.46
Well, when the
fresh air comes in.
00:09:18.49\00:09:19.82
Now we must have the fresh air
and this author goes on to say
00:09:19.85\00:09:23.05
that in our
sleeping course in a bedroom
00:09:23.08\00:09:25.83
that the window should be open.
00:09:25.86\00:09:27.98
At least a crack or so
00:09:28.01\00:09:29.80
particularly, now hold
on to the seat belts. Yeah.
00:09:29.83\00:09:32.31
Particularly in the
winter time. Oh, oh.
00:09:32.34\00:09:36.27
Because what happens
is that in the winter time
00:09:36.30\00:09:38.34
it gets cold, we
turn up the heat.
00:09:38.37\00:09:40.35
And heat wipes the
vitality of the air.
00:09:40.38\00:09:43.49
So what we're doing,
we're breathing in stale air
00:09:43.52\00:09:46.63
because there's no
fresh air coming in.
00:09:46.66\00:09:48.68
So when we open up the
window that fresh air comes in.
00:09:48.71\00:09:52.10
And we're more
refresh in the morning time.
00:09:52.13\00:09:54.68
Now, she does say
this author goes on to say
00:09:54.71\00:09:56.79
that the winter should
not be at the head of the bed.
00:09:56.82\00:10:00.01
But you'll have a direct drape
because you'll catch a cold.
00:10:00.04\00:10:03.05
The winter should
be either at the side
00:10:03.08\00:10:05.24
or at the foot of the bed.
00:10:05.27\00:10:06.57
So in your bedroom if the head
of your bed is the window there.
00:10:06.60\00:10:13.79
One or two
things you need to do,
00:10:13.82\00:10:15.13
either move your
bed or move your window,
00:10:15.16\00:10:20.75
whichever is easier
or turn your bed around.
00:10:20.78\00:10:25.69
So the window is
at the foot. Okay.
00:10:25.72\00:10:27.49
We've done that
too. Yes, we have.
00:10:27.52\00:10:29.07
Okay, More I can say about
that but the air is very vital
00:10:29.10\00:10:33.41
in producing sound
refreshing sweet sleep.
00:10:33.44\00:10:38.39
Well, you know the
thing I know one time
00:10:38.42\00:10:39.98
we've done a
presentation and someone said.
00:10:40.01\00:10:41.89
"I can't open my windows up
00:10:41.92\00:10:43.42
and be sleeping all night
long my windows are open-"
00:10:43.45\00:10:45.53
Someone may be standing in
the bedroom looking at you.
00:10:45.56\00:10:47.30
So, you know,
it's always amazing.
00:10:47.33\00:10:48.99
You know, but the thing
is that I made a comment
00:10:49.02\00:10:50.89
as you know while we
were in home in daytime,
00:10:50.92\00:10:52.75
we can open our windows up
00:10:52.78\00:10:54.41
and let the air
go through the house
00:10:54.44\00:10:57.23
and at our sleeping quarters
00:10:57.26\00:10:58.67
and close them
back down at evenings,
00:10:58.70\00:11:00.27
so we gonna be good.
00:11:00.30\00:11:01.33
And then also if
you have an adjacent,
00:11:01.36\00:11:03.31
if you're on a second storey,
00:11:03.34\00:11:04.37
you can always
like that bathroom area.
00:11:04.40\00:11:06.67
You can open
your bathroom window
00:11:06.70\00:11:07.75
let the air come on
through there as well. Yeah.
00:11:07.78\00:11:09.71
So there's all kind of
ways to actually get in
00:11:09.74\00:11:11.82
that sound refreshing
sleep honestly that- Yes.
00:11:11.85\00:11:15.71
The fresh air is
the name of the game.
00:11:15.74\00:11:17.89
But I do have to say that when
I first got married to Curtis,
00:11:17.92\00:11:22.18
that was back in a day.
00:11:22.21\00:11:23.53
Okay, now back
in day means what.
00:11:23.56\00:11:24.59
Okay, that was back in a
day, that was a long time ago.
00:11:24.62\00:11:26.57
18 years ago. Its was, yeah.
00:11:26.60\00:11:28.27
And when I got
married to Curtis,
00:11:28.30\00:11:31.12
I had my window up, it was up,
00:11:31.15\00:11:33.35
it was up a
little bit like that.
00:11:33.38\00:11:35.23
Now we got married in
the winter time, January 2nd.
00:11:35.26\00:11:37.79
January 2nd. So it was cold.
00:11:37.82\00:11:38.85
Yeah. It was very cold.
00:11:38.88\00:11:40.58
So I had the
window up like that.
00:11:40.61\00:11:41.93
And then but also I had
blanket I mean the sheet
00:11:41.96\00:11:47.19
and then the blanket over that.
00:11:47.22\00:11:49.00
And then I had
comforter over top of that.
00:11:49.03\00:11:51.13
And the electric
blanket too, didn't you.
00:11:51.16\00:11:52.40
Right, electric
blanket then a comforter, four.
00:11:52.43\00:11:55.77
And so it was not
comfortable for Curtis.
00:11:55.80\00:11:59.96
So I had to really pray about
opening the window little more.
00:11:59.99\00:12:05.59
And its amazing because once
I actually opened the windows
00:12:05.62\00:12:09.06
that we open up more and more
00:12:09.09\00:12:10.12
and more and more by degree,
00:12:10.15\00:12:11.96
we finally got to a
point where we didn't have
00:12:11.99\00:12:13.53
to have the heating blanket,
00:12:13.56\00:12:15.51
I don't know when last time I
had a heating blanket on a bed.
00:12:15.54\00:12:17.93
And the
comforter is out of the bed
00:12:17.96\00:12:19.65
and then the light sheet
is actually on the bed now
00:12:19.68\00:12:22.13
and that's even
in the winter time,
00:12:22.16\00:12:23.84
so it's amazing. Yes.
00:12:23.87\00:12:24.94
Not to mention it actually
causes your electric bill
00:12:24.97\00:12:26.64
to go down, down, down.
00:12:26.67\00:12:28.64
And let me explain
it because people think
00:12:28.67\00:12:30.43
while in the winter
time, opening the window,
00:12:30.46\00:12:31.99
my electric bill goes up.
00:12:32.02\00:12:33.11
Actually it goes down
because what happens is
00:12:33.14\00:12:34.96
when the fresh air comes in
it increases your circulation.
00:12:34.99\00:12:38.49
More blood flow so
keeps the body warm. Yes.
00:12:38.52\00:12:41.03
Winding up turning
the thermostat down.
00:12:41.06\00:12:43.14
So in the long
run you actually save.
00:12:43.17\00:12:45.14
That's it, that's it, that's it.
00:12:45.17\00:12:46.78
So fresh air is
good. Fresh air is good.
00:12:46.81\00:12:48.84
Now, we're talking about
"Sleeping Shut Eye." Yeah, okay.
00:12:48.87\00:12:51.01
So you know, the question,
00:12:51.04\00:12:52.16
the next question
is what about hormones
00:12:52.19\00:12:53.85
because, you
know, how does that work
00:12:53.88\00:12:55.55
as far as the
hormones in the body
00:12:55.58\00:12:56.97
when you're talking
about getting enough sleep.
00:12:57.00\00:12:59.49
Yeah, okay.
00:12:59.52\00:13:01.21
There's two hormones in a body,
00:13:01.24\00:13:02.93
we're going to talk about
its called leptin and ghrelin.
00:13:02.96\00:13:07.39
Leptin is a hormone
that's produced from fat cells,
00:13:07.42\00:13:11.38
that lets the brain
know that we're full.
00:13:11.41\00:13:14.47
Ghrelin is a hormone
that is produced in a stomach
00:13:14.50\00:13:17.57
that let us know that
we're hungry and we need to eat.
00:13:17.60\00:13:20.38
Now, when we
stay up late at night.
00:13:20.41\00:13:26.52
Ghrelin is
increased signaling us to eat.
00:13:26.55\00:13:32.08
And leptin is reduced
signaling that we're full.
00:13:32.11\00:13:35.69
So by staying up
late, we actually eat more
00:13:35.72\00:13:40.13
based on the hormone production.
00:13:40.16\00:13:42.16
There was a study done and let's
go to the screen at this time
00:13:42.19\00:13:44.38
because there's something
will happen in the study
00:13:44.41\00:13:47.08
that people eat more calories.
00:13:47.11\00:13:50.21
Let's go to screen at this time.
00:13:50.24\00:13:53.17
The sleep deprived
equals weight gain.
00:13:53.20\00:13:56.83
The sleep deprived
group consumed an average
00:13:56.86\00:14:00.14
of 549 additional
calories each day.
00:14:00.17\00:14:06.48
And this took place at
the Minnesota Obesity Clinic
00:14:06.51\00:14:09.73
there in Mayo Clinic
in Rochester, Minnesota.
00:14:09.76\00:14:13.07
And so they had two groups
00:14:13.10\00:14:14.35
and of course those
who were sleep deprived
00:14:14.38\00:14:17.12
of 6 hours or less.
00:14:17.15\00:14:18.92
They actually ate more
because of those hormones,
00:14:18.95\00:14:22.07
leptin was reduced
and ghrelin was increased.
00:14:22.10\00:14:24.39
So those who are sleep deprived,
00:14:24.42\00:14:26.62
they have a tendency to
have a more challenging ability
00:14:26.65\00:14:30.98
to control one's weight.
And that's not a good thing.
00:14:31.01\00:14:34.94
Now, that's not good.
That's not a happy thing.
00:14:34.97\00:14:36.63
So we need to go to bed.
00:14:36.66\00:14:40.06
When you say go
to bed. Okay now so.
00:14:40.09\00:14:42.67
Okay, now so what time exactly
is the best time to go to bed?
00:14:42.70\00:14:47.79
Okay, well, lets
go to our author,
00:14:47.82\00:14:49.94
let's have our
author Ellen G. White
00:14:49.97\00:14:52.72
share with us what she suggests
00:14:52.75\00:14:55.71
we should do when
its time to go to bed.
00:14:55.74\00:14:57.63
Let's go to this, this
should be a eye opener,
00:14:57.66\00:15:00.39
Best time to sleep.
00:15:00.42\00:15:03.39
"Two hours of good
sleep before midnight
00:15:03.42\00:15:09.20
is worth more than four
hours of sleep after midnight."
00:15:09.23\00:15:16.83
Therefore that
two hours of sleep
00:15:16.86\00:15:19.67
that 10 o'clock to
12 o'clock midnight
00:15:19.70\00:15:21.98
is actually more advantageous
00:15:22.01\00:15:24.25
than sleeping from
midnight to 4 o'clock in morning
00:15:24.28\00:15:26.48
even though you're
sleeping half the time.
00:15:26.51\00:15:28.14
So that period is very critical
as far as sleep is concerned.
00:15:28.17\00:15:32.02
Now if we go to bed,
let's say at 12 o'clock
00:15:32.05\00:15:34.47
then we've missed
that two hour of that
00:15:34.50\00:15:36.69
important sleep from 10 to 12.
00:15:36.72\00:15:39.33
Now it doesn't mean
that if you just stay up
00:15:39.36\00:15:40.74
until 9:59 and jump in bed.
00:15:40.77\00:15:43.50
I mean you go to bed at
9:30 or 9 o'clock, that's fine.
00:15:43.53\00:15:46.69
But the point- okay,
00:15:46.72\00:15:48.73
but the point it is
that the earlier the sleep,
00:15:48.76\00:15:51.97
the better we'll have and
have more of a restful sleep
00:15:52.00\00:15:55.04
throughout rest of the day.
00:15:55.07\00:15:57.66
Now I noted
somebody said that he say,
00:15:57.69\00:16:00.54
don't go to bed at 9:59.
00:16:00.57\00:16:03.07
Oh, I know that
you're saying to yourself
00:16:03.10\00:16:08.30
is he talking about
the 9 o'clock timeframe
00:16:08.33\00:16:10.43
and not getting into
bed before 10 o'clock.
00:16:10.46\00:16:11.86
I got too much stuff
going on for all that to happen.
00:16:11.89\00:16:14.37
Yeah. There's just no way.
00:16:14.40\00:16:15.66
But really and
truly I have found
00:16:15.69\00:16:18.54
when I stay up late,
I'm no good in the morning.
00:16:18.57\00:16:24.24
The earlier I go to bed,
00:16:24.27\00:16:25.71
the better I am going
to feel for long journey.
00:16:25.74\00:16:27.79
And I have some
friends, they also say things
00:16:27.82\00:16:29.40
like they will go to
bed and then he wake up
00:16:29.43\00:16:31.59
like two or three in the morning
00:16:31.62\00:16:32.75
and then he get up
and he starts studying
00:16:32.78\00:16:34.60
or he will go start cooking
and doing something else.
00:16:34.63\00:16:36.51
I said, no it's a good
idea just to stay in the bed.
00:16:36.54\00:16:39.95
Don't get up, okay.
00:16:39.98\00:16:41.27
So that whole idea of the body
00:16:41.30\00:16:44.37
and what the body is doing
and hormones and everything.
00:16:44.40\00:16:45.99
What about what other things
that the body get up to do
00:16:46.02\00:16:48.75
as far as the rhythm.
00:16:48.78\00:16:49.81
Well probably going,
00:16:49.84\00:16:50.87
probably I'd be talking
more about that in the kitchen
00:16:50.90\00:16:52.80
because we think
we've run out of time.
00:16:52.83\00:16:54.64
We're going to do some
cooking in the kitchen,
00:16:54.67\00:16:56.10
aren't we?. Yeah.
00:16:56.13\00:16:57.16
So we probably need to
finish that in the kitchen then.
00:16:57.19\00:16:59.43
We're talking about
sleep and sweet sleep.
00:16:59.46\00:17:02.15
How about we
have a sweet dessert.
00:17:02.18\00:17:04.39
Oh, all right.
00:17:04.42\00:17:06.49
Okay, we're going to
do a soaking cherub cake
00:17:06.52\00:17:09.04
and we're going to do a vanilla
cream that go on top of it.
00:17:09.07\00:17:12.24
So you want to get
your paper and pencil.
00:17:12.27\00:17:13.86
We're not finished
with the subject yet.
00:17:13.89\00:17:15.54
Paper, pencil in the
kitchen, we'll see you.
00:17:15.57\00:17:19.79
