It could be a warning not to let your life be distracted by things of satan, but do things that are in Jesus image.
This sounds about right... otherwise, everybody who works the night shift is sinning without knowing it!

If someone is this fearful over little things like sleeping, then something is wrong with the faith or their own interpretation. I couldn't remain under the thumb of a deity that would demand such things, and I don't think we're suppost to be that wracked with guilt. |

They speak figuratively about people who are "asleep" or "drunk" and are therefore not ready for what may befall them, referring to unbelievers. Those of us who are "of the day," who have been enlightened with the truth of Jesus should be ready for the coming of the Lord, and conduct ourselves in a manner such that we would not be ashamed before the Lord if he came at any moment.

sleep and recharge rather than party and get into trouble...
do the right thing, grow up, go to bed that you might be awake and aware the next day...
don't do things in excess....don't abuse your self, your body, eat and drink in moderation... | | |
