what does the bible say?
God created rhythms of work and rest from the very start of creation. Sleep is part of that rhythm. We know of many reasons that sleep is physically, psychologically, and even spiritually beneficial for us, but precisely why God chose this for our design is something only He knows. That being said, we can rest assured that our need for sleep can bring glory to God. Perhaps it is as simple as sleep reminding us that we are created and that we rely on God for all our needs. Sleep is a gift for which we can be grateful to God. It offers us an opportunity to recharge, to see things in a fresh perspective, and to have a break from the struggles of daily life.
