Why do some people experience sleeplessness according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Sleeplessness may arise from worry or spiritual lethargy, as warned in the Proverbs.

The Bible highlights that sleeplessness can result from various factors, including worry and spiritual slumber. Proverbs warns against the dangers of laziness, suggesting that a lack of diligence can lead to poverty and unrest (Proverbs 20:13). Furthermore, in 1 Thessalonians 5:6, believers are urged to remain spiritually alert and sober, indicating that a lack of vigilance in faith may also contribute to restless nights. Thus, practical diligence combined with spiritual faithfulness can serve to promote better rest.
