Here's one for a good night's sleep (and a possible aftermath)...

1 Unless the Lord builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the Lord guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
To sit up late,
To eat the bread of sorrows;
For so He gives His beloved sleep.

3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
They shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.
~Psalms 127 (NKJV)

I recommend praying this over the nations before bed time. Here's another; imagine being a toddler sleeping in your parent's loving arms:

1 Lord, my heart is not haughty,
Nor my eyes lofty.
Neither do I concern myself with great matters,
Nor with things too profound for me.

2 Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul,
Like a weaned child with his mother;
Like a weaned child is my soul within me.

3 O Israel, hope in the Lord
From this time forth and forever.
~Psalms 131 (NKJV)

Psalm 131 KJV,NKJV,NIV,ICB - Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine - Bible Gateway

I also found that reciting the Lord's Prayer on loop helped me during some nights. It's like the Biblical version of counting sheep (John 10:1-30, Matt. 11:28-30, Ps. 127:1-2). :p

9 In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
10 Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
13 And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
~Matthew 6:9-13 (NKJV)

Matthew 6 KJV,NKJV,NIV,ICB - Take heed that ye do not your alms - Bible Gateway

Quoting related Scripture has also helped me some:

28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
~Matthew 11:28-30 (NKJV)

Matthew 11 KJV,NKJV,NIV,ICB - And it came to pass, when Jesus had - Bible Gateway

Keeping Mark 9:28-29 and Matt. 17:19-21 in mind, remember that you're also a biological being who needs medicine. Fasting is an ancient form of therapy which has health benefits, when done correctly.[1][2][3] Consult your family doctor for insomnia-related treatments.

Calming music also helps, especially for one's inner child:


Good night and God bless!

On November 27, 2021, at roughly 10:50 PM Eastern Time, I have added Psalm 131 and a related recommendation. My apologies, I'm a flawed human being who is predisposed towards selfishness.
