Do You Feel Sleep Disorders Could Be Linked To Spiritual Problems?
I mean all through the Scriptures, death is assiciated with sleeping so could there be some kind of a parallel?

Ohhh, very much so.
No. I have plenty of sleep disorders and I have never noticed any connection between them and my varying levels of spiritual health.
I used to suffer from sleep paralysis. I assure you it was a physiological problem with my muscles shutting down a little prematurely, so that I would be mostly awake, but unable to move.
its possible like if you have a dream your falling and you wake up and it felt like you fell their must be something spiritual with that.
I don’t buy the “death/sleeping” parrallel, but anything that adversly affects you spiritial life will likely adversly affect you mentally as well.
Example: Guilt will make it difficult to sleep.
Well, hypnagogic sleep hallucinations are known to be the cause for many reports of demons (such as incubi and succubi), and the night terrors associated with them have caused people to become fervent religious believers. I guess it’s possible.
I would say so.
It could very well be that way. If we are not happy in our spiritual selves then we may have a restless sleep.
No, I think it is all related to stress and marriage and kids, and in -laws,,,,etc. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes! just for the sake of being agreeable, yes.
Sleep and death are brothers, according to the old Greek proverb.
However, they are not merely brothers, born of the same fabric of human consciousness, but are in all verity one, identical. Death is a perfect sleep, with its interim awakenings of a kind, such as in the devachan, and a full human awakening in the succeeding reincarnation.
Sleep is an imperfect fulfillment of death, nature’s prophecy of the future death. Nightly we sleep, and therefore nightly we partially die. Indeed, one may go still farther and say that sleep and death and all the various processes and realizations of initiation are but different phases or operations of consciousness, varied forms of the same fundamental thing. Sleep is largely an automatic functioning of the human consciousness; death is the same, but in immensely greater degree, and is a necessary habit of the consciousness in order that it may gain for the psychological part of the constitution a resting and an assimilation of experience.
Ive been wondering about that quite a bit myself lately. everynight, i have a panic attack right as im starting to drift off. im convinced that if i fall asleep, i wont wake back up. its totally illogical but terrifying anyway. this has only started happening in the last few months. i cant figure out why.
Maybe. But I like to think that i just don’t get tired enough during the day
yes..and these spirits show up on MRIs while people with sleeping disorders are tested and treated
you hit the nail on the head, its spirits!
No but if you drink too much you may fall into a deep sleep and never wake up.
Of course it has nothing to do with your diet, lack of exercise, stress level, or that cup of coffee you drank before bed.
I have a sleeping disorder but it’s only because I’m addicted to the internet…among other things
Are you serious?
No. That’s ridiculous.
Death as sleeping is a biblical metaphor.
No. Just no.
