Sleepy

The day is finished with you, and your body has said so.

Psalm 4 · An Evening Prayer

“In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.”Psalm 4:8 · BSB

More psalms for when you feel sleepy

Sleepy sits in the Bedtime psalms — 6 of the 150 in all. See every one.

Someone in the Bible felt this too

Elijah the Prophet1 Kings 17–19Elijah is so worn out he asks to die, and God's answer is not a lecture — it is sleep, then food, then more sleep. Rest as the first kindness.
