In this fresh and empowering guide, he considers the significance of sleep--not just as a health necessity but also as a spiritual and creative foundation for well-being. Weaving together personal storytelling, historical vignettes, and spiritual insights on the hidden power of rest, Wytsma

· explores why sleep deprivation harms our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being;
· explains how rest fuels happiness, creativity, resilience, and a life of service to others;
· shows that reclaiming the gift of sleep is an invitation to the good life; and

This is a compassionate, encouraging, and fascinating guide for anyone looking to escape the cycle of exhaustion and rediscover the joy of a well-rested life.
