I always say on Sunday night, "I can't go to bed now; that means the weekend is over." But generally, I go to bed at 9:30 PM and that is my goal. Issue: I wake up at 3AM and dont fall back to sleep until 430 AM. :(
It’s very much FOMO, the fear of missing out. I’m like that every night. I DREAD going to sleep, because I fear missing out, and I fear losing control as you do when you drift off. I also DREAD waking up, because I know I have things to do, and that if I don’t do them, I’m a failure.
@@timopper5488 wow, I feel the same. I hate waking up. I have extreme anxiety in the morning to the point I don’t get out of bed and get fired from jobs. Starting a new day is the ultimate form of stress for me. I stay up way too late and don’t go to bed because I fear the new day so much.
Eunice Aceto It is currently 3:00 in the morning and I’m watching this hahaha. This video was insightful, considering I’ve been wanting to go to bed earlier.
Father Mike you are hilarious! I'm watching you for three reasons: getting to know Christ, increase my good mood and to learn English. Thank you father Mike! Greetings from Poland
Fr. Mike exudes joy. Makes me happy just watching and listening to him even if I don't fully agree with everything. He gives out some words of wisdom for sure and loves God so much. :)
When I go to bed, I always have my Rosary with me and pray the Rosary.Most of the time I won’t finish it but it feels so good as if I’m a baby that the Blessed Mother is trying to put me to sleep. If I wake up in the middle of the night, I continue praying the Rosary🙏🙏🙏
Night shifts don’t allow me to sleep, but God sent me a dream that I wouldn’t be in this line of work anymore. And a job opportunity pops up out of nowhere, thank you God, I can get some sleep 😂
Instead try look it differently, maybe the Lord is saying to you about yourself "You are my baby, entrust your care to me" Just as the baby is you pride and joy you are also the Lord's pride and joy. He will take care o you.
Hi Allison- I’m not your professor, but I am a professor. Here’s the hard part: study in the morning or afternoon and get the sleep you need. You will remember more if your brain has time to process that info during sleep. Also, 10 extra credit points for watching this.
That's a very solid point. Going to sleep means tomorrow has started. Hadn't thought of it like that before. We can't prevent the responsibilities of the next day by delaying sleep, and yet we still stay up.
I’m not Catholic but this was so helpful. I never thought of sleep as an act of trusting God. I’m so sleep deprived right now but I’m going to get to bed tonight.
Nice to hear. Years ago, when I was struggling with anxiety, I learned that I really needed my sleep. I was able to train myself to disconnect, before bed, telling myself that there would be time tomorrow to worry about this or that and time to do this or that. Right now, I needed to sleep. I let it all go, surrendered to sleep. Still works when needed. Wisdom comes with pain I guess. I surrender a lot of other things to God.
You're crazy father Mike, and it's probably why we love you! You remind me of my childhood priest, being made learning about God and Catholicism fun, thank you and God bless
How can be a simple tip so profound and even biblical? So nourishing-- figuratively & literally. Thanks Fr Mike! Proud Catholic here from the Philippines 🇵🇭
A top on how to sleep and not to be anxious or "scared" to sleep at night I learned after 30 years of insomnia. I contemplate, staring at God and He communicating with me in silence, and being in the spiritual world. That makes me excited now to sleep. I chose my eyes and let go and let God. It works wonders daily. I also live responsibly daily so I'll get tired. Eating early, and befriending 8pm as near sleep time and being excited to see sunrise brod it comes out. And to have self time in the morning and time to pray intently without rushing. Sleeping and waking up early are wonderful. Also, in doing right, just say yes. No more negotiations. In doing wrong, just say no, no more negotiations. Submit to your conscience. Obey it. God commands you through it. So, just trust and say yes, I'll sleep on time. No nor excuses. All worked and concerns set aside and let go, let God. Lastly, but not the least, regimen is important. It creates habits and order and creates your character. Godliness is orderliness. Follow a good schedule and include exercise there. Don't exercise late. It's best to do it first thing in the morning to jump start your mind and body, better than coffee. You'll get tired and sleepy when 8pm comes. Good night!
Excellent. Simple and yet profound. "It is vain for you to rise early and to put off rest at night when the Lord gives to his beloved gifts in their sleep." That's my new motto. It's 1.00 pm now. I'm going to bed for a long nap. Looking forward to those gifts ...
But is it not also unhealthy to sleep too much, therefore is it not a sin to sleep too much, because we should be taking care of our bodies, because we are beautifully and wonderfully made?
Something I recently learn and do is if you want change in your life, pray constantly. Morning, day and night. I pray the four mysteries of the rosary and the 3oclock Devine mercy. God bless you and help you to be a devoted catholic to God and humanity 🙏
Fr. Mike ,, I retired a year ago, and have had months fighting with sleep, Most of all watching you before I go to sleep gives me back what I have needed in my life! Thank you
You're loved more than you could ever know. Thanks for existing. Jesus loves you! Isaiah 43:2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
Yes!!! Sleep hygiene! Learned it, albeit late. I would avoid sleep so I could recreate, but also because I had night terrors. I started praying the Dominican Compline before bed has allowed me to sleep more sound with more peace than ever in my life.
I can completely relate with the belief that I stay up late to savor the time to myself, before "tomorrow" starts. This is a video I will be watching again tonight as a reminder to myself to get to bed because that's what the Lord wants for me. Thank you, Fr. Mike.
Dear Saint in the making Fr. Mike; I think that you should share this with Saint in the making Fr. Chris Alar who only gets about 3 hours of sleep every night, even his doctor told him he needs to get more sleep.
The answer is to get up extra early, like around 4 a.m. so that you have a couple of hours of free time to think and pray and get organized. This makes the morning enjoyable and something to look forward to. But it also means going to bed earlier, which is no problem if you've been up since 4 LOL
I didn’t realize this but it is kind of true. When I surrender to sleeping it does mean that the next day starts and I dread it because of work (another issue I’m fixing). So turns out I’m making the most of my only “personal time” by binging on things that satisfies me, even though they are only temporary. Never knew that sleep deprivation has something to do with faith as well. I guess that is why my meditations don’t work at all. Aside from I’m not “in the moment”, I lack the faith of resting everything to Him.
Thank you Father! If only extroverts understood the need for introverts to get their quality sleep time. I totally agree that to be on the top of your game, you need more sleep.
Such a small, trivial subject, "bedtime" but you have brought a bright light to this issue for MANY of us. I know I'm a night owl. I have known since I was a child that my internal clock functions much better and BRIGHTER at night. It just does. All my life I had to struggle with what others said I MUST DO, go to bed early. SO when I got divorced, no more husband to take care of and both my kids were now adults also and moved on. One got married and 6 months later my son moved to Detroit to his first job as engineer, so my nest was truly empty. I went for a full time job now, and I picked the late shift..... 4pm to 11 pm. It was wonderful. This was MY TIME! I was alert, solved problems easily and I was not tired. I worked in a call center where the pace and problem solving came one issue after another. Hard customers to satisfy, but it was great for me. I was alert. So, early to bed is NOT right for everyone, unless you're a farmer and have to milk cows, feed the pigs and chickens and plant your crops. Your strengths dictate your career. Now I'm retired and I go to bed at 5am so don't call me unless you want my social call at 1am to chat and see what's new with you.
You shouldn't judge people who don't sleep, lots of reasons why people don't sleep. Some people over think and find it hard to sleep. Love is always the answer ❤️
I watch this incredibly brilliant priest that puts out a lot of media on religion. I find him fascinating. I’m almost 20 years older than he is and as the product of a very bad marriage was away from the church for over 20 years. My sister-in-law recommended that I listen to him and I did, and the next thing I did was got his book on reconciliation. Which led me to a few sleepless nights as I started cataloging what would turn out to be about 50 years worth of sins and then kind of making MMA easier way to describe when I went to my first confession in 50 years, the few nights before I did that I was certainly up past my bedtime. Like I said I’m in my 60s I need to be in bed at 10 o’clock and I get up with Alarm at 8 o’clock in the morning and if I didn’t have an alarm, I just keep sleeping. I’m retired I live alone, so I really am my home keeper but I have to do a better job at getting to bed on time and sure that I eat properly. It’s a pain in the neck to cook for one person. I gotta be perfectly honest with you, but on occasion, I do get hungry enough that I do make a meal and then I know I’m good for about three or four days. It was really nice well spoken priest that keeps me up at night. But I don’t mind because I have learned so much from him that the time is well spent, have a good nightFather Mike according to my central standard clock it is now midnight, two hours past my bedtime, father, Mike and I’m betting it is past yours too. Good night.
My prescription for sleep: no eating after 6-7pm, melatonin tablet under the tongue, listen to delta/alpha waves(can find on UA-cam or Spotify), and read Scriptures on my iPad (night mode, no lights in room). Reading, no videos (not even AP!)
GOD BLESS YOU FATHER!! I have watched nearly all your videos! You have an excellent gift of teaching and your messages are coming in loud and clear. I will keep your ministry in Minnesota in my prayers! I am actually your next door neighbor, as I live in Wisconsin! I will be getting to bed tonight indeed!
I sleep in intervals of 2 - 3 hours at a time. So this is my gap time at 3:35 am. Next time I wake up would be to get ready for Mass...oh how I wish I could sleep straight through the night without waking!
Well this is interesting.... I forgot about this video... I do not remember watching this.... and I was the last one to comment about how pivotal this video was to me. I did not take it to heart. What a wake up call. God Bless Fr Mike and Ascension Press.
I love you Fr Mike!! My sister Grace and I were just talking this morning how our mind race's in the am hours while in bed. Then low and behold you pop up on my UA-cam feed with this divine advice. Thank you ❤❤
I recently started to struggle with sleeping early, this year i'm getting into college and i was a little concerned about how it was going to impact on my hours of sleep, i got the goal of sleeping at least one one or two hours more this week, today i found this video and something tells me that maybe God wants to tell me i should definitly sleep at least a little more. College and responsabilities are important but the sleep time of a child of the Lord its not negotiable, so you the person reading this pass midnight, go to bed please
**Gets this in my feed at 1 A.M. when I know I should be in bed.**
I feel like God is trying to tell me something...
he is if you really listen see hear or feel ect God sends us sutall messages but we have to be willing to acept them and to accept God into out lives
4am for me - yes, the irony!!
Naah, he means the other guy
Yep, 12:09am
5:57 P.M, maybe a sign...?
"When I go to sleep, the next day has already started." That's the truest line I've ever heard to how I feel about this!
Yeah, it's so true
Hits the nail on the head.
I always say on Sunday night, "I can't go to bed now; that means the weekend is over." But generally, I go to bed at 9:30 PM and that is my goal. Issue: I wake up at 3AM and dont fall back to sleep until 430 AM. :(

@@timopper5488 wow, I feel the same. I hate waking up. I have extreme anxiety in the morning to the point I don’t get out of bed and get fired from jobs. Starting a new day is the ultimate form of stress for me. I stay up way too late and don’t go to bed because I fear the new day so much.
the irony of watching this before i go to sleep...
Me too

My goal is 10pm. It is 9:58pm. Goodnight. Praise be to God my friends, sweet dreams, God bless!

I do that too!!! ::D Its so relaxing ♥
He probably does anyway, but ask your guardian angel to finish the Rosary for you, if you fall asleep.
Me as well!!
@AnthonyMarquise-my6ki yes, didn't even realize it.
Night shifts don’t allow me to sleep, but God sent me a dream that I wouldn’t be in this line of work anymore. And a job opportunity pops up out of nowhere, thank you God, I can get some sleep 😂
"Lord, this baby that you gave me to take care of, I entrust her to you, I'm going to sleep" New mom wishful thinking!
Don't blame gravity for falling in love..AE...lol
Instead try look it differently, maybe the Lord is saying to you about yourself "You are my baby, entrust your care to me" Just as the baby is you pride and joy you are also the Lord's pride and joy. He will take care o you.
Har. If only, right?

I’m so tired of work :( they overwork us ... all I want to do is live a contemplative life and get closer to God.
That's a very solid point. Going to sleep means tomorrow has started. Hadn't thought of it like that before. We can't prevent the responsibilities of the next day by delaying sleep, and yet we still stay up.

God bless you Judy.
And if we get more sleep, we give God more time to speak to us through our dreams. Like Joseph. 💤😊💤
Wow God bless you father. Those simple words are all I needed to hear, "get some sleep"
A lot of dads out there are like, what?
When asked how she got enough sleep she replied "I sleep fast" St. Mother Theresa.
Sleep Faster.
-Arnold Schwarzenegger
Rest is more important than sleep.
This video is my gap time. xD
+Erica Terranova There could be worse things hahah ;)
+Erica Terranova Yeah, it's funny how this cool priest made a UA-cam video to tell people to stop watching UA-cam videos and go to bed.
+EmilyA1984 Seems like the perfect place to reach those in need of this message! Thanks, Fr. Mike.
Jason Hughes Well, what do you tell people who stay up all night watching your channel?
+Erica Terranova and I want you in my gap time
I love that you are a Priest with a Superman cup. That just makes me think you are absolutely even more awesome.
Whatsup Buttercup he is superman, he fights crime when he's not on UA-cam.
You're crazy father Mike, and it's probably why we love you! You remind me of my childhood priest, being made learning about God and Catholicism fun, thank you and God bless
Mind blowing! Thank you! I will try to go to bed earlier, for God
I needed to see this again. I’m gonna go to bed sooner and I pray for all of us that we all do.
Wonderful! Thank you.
But I have to laugh: What am I doing in my gap time? Watching Fr. Mike.
Me toool 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe small gap
I'm impressed. Father Mike really hit the nail on the head on this one (as always, but this is next level).
Yep, it's 1.20am and this is my last viewing of the night/morning! Goodnight and thank you for your wise counsel.
May God bless you, Father Mike!

Amen God bless
🙏🏻
Of course! God bless you!
one Hail Mary for you dear Shweta.
Something I recently learn and do is if you want change in your life, pray constantly. Morning, day and night. I pray the four mysteries of the rosary and the 3oclock Devine mercy. God bless you and help you to be a devoted catholic to God and humanity 🙏
This is lovely 😊 !!! For me going to bed is kind of ritual. It is a place where I find God connected with my heart ❤️.
It was amazing to hear Fr. Mike before sipping that coffee. Never heard him talk at normal speed.
😂
Fr. Mike ,, I retired a year ago, and have had months fighting with sleep, Most of all watching you before I go to sleep gives me back what I have needed in my life! Thank you
wow. I'm watching this at 3:00 am. I should sleep more...
Lol😂

You're loved more than you could ever know. Thanks for existing.
Jesus loves you!
Isaiah 43:2
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
That's why I like to wake up by 5:00. Then you don't feel like you have to start working when you wake up.
Yes!!! Sleep hygiene! Learned it, albeit late. I would avoid sleep so I could recreate, but also because I had night terrors. I started praying the Dominican Compline before bed has allowed me to sleep more sound with more peace than ever in my life.
Totally unrelated but he looks very similar to Jon Hamm!
“Rambo Priest” has to genuinely be one of the best phrases I’ve ever heard.
I can completely relate with the belief that I stay up late to savor the time to myself, before "tomorrow" starts. This is a video I will be watching again tonight as a reminder to myself to get to bed because that's what the Lord wants for me. Thank you, Fr. Mike.
That psalm verse COMPLETELY BLEW MY MIND!!!!!
A little late, but I had the same reaction. I actually pulled out my Bible to look up the verse because I found it so profound.
I go to bed an hour past my goal time because I was watching Father Mike

You are very charismatic and handsome father Mike. Good bless you.
So, I am watching this at 2:21 am. Great message that I needed to hear! I will definitely strive to do better after watching your video.
This makes so much sense...God bless ❤️
Doh... I should go to sleep. Well said, Fr.
+fjwisme Same going on here. G"night.
Thank you Father! If only extroverts understood the need for introverts to get their quality sleep time. I totally agree that to be on the top of your game, you need more sleep.
Such a small, trivial subject, "bedtime" but you have brought a bright light to this issue for MANY of us. I know I'm a night owl.

It was wonderful. This was MY TIME! I was alert, solved problems easily and I was not tired. I worked in a call center where the pace and problem solving came one issue after another. Hard customers to satisfy, but it was great for me. I was alert.

Your *face* is a gift to this world! Very animated, good natured & pleasant. Keep up this missionary work with such a wonderful gift.
Please tell my young children that their mother needs at least 7 hours of sleep. Said from the sleep deprived mom of 3 kids under 4. ;)
You shouldn't judge people who don't sleep, lots of reasons why people don't sleep. Some people over think and find it hard to sleep. Love is always the answer ❤️
Fr. Thank you. God bless you.
Brilliant! A very similar principle to that of resting on the Lord's Day. I was raised to believe that that, too, is an act of Faith : )
Thank you Father Mike. You are truly a blessing.
Best thing I have heard all week. Thank you Father Mike! God bless you.
You are Awesome Father, God bless your work!

SO GRATEFUL

To meet father Mike Schmidt would be on my bucket list! I used to live in Duluth MN.
Good night Father ~ God bless xx
Such wise words.
Thank you Fr Mike and the Ascension Presents team - wonderful videos!
Wow thank you Fr. Mike for sharing! Very informative. Praise God!
Thank you!! Now I’m going to bed!! Good night Father Mike. God bless you always 🙏🏻🇵🇷
Thank you very much Fr Mike. You gave me the answer of one of my struggles. Blessings from France.
My goal time is right now. Perfect time to watch this video. Thank you Father Mike.
GOD BLESS YOU FATHER!! I have watched nearly all your videos! You have an excellent gift of teaching and your messages are coming in loud and clear. I will keep your ministry in Minnesota in my prayers! I am actually your next door neighbor, as I live in Wisconsin!
I will be getting to bed tonight indeed!
Thank you. I never thought of being a sleep dodger as being vain.
I love you Fr. Mike!!! God bless you forever! :)
Thank you Father Mike, It has been almost two weeks that I tune to your videos. It is very inspiring and help me getting closer to our God.
What a simple, brilliant, effective message. I so much needed to hear this.
Thank you Fr. Mike - I love your lessons and your sense of humour - you are an awesome priest - wish we could have you here in our diocese.
It amazes me how accurate and relevant this vídeos are to our day to day lives...😶🙏🏼❤️
This is such wise advice! I feel like a bad kid at night sometimes, doing everything I can do avoid going to sleep!! Thanks so much, Fr. Mike!
Watching Ascension Presents, watching Fr. Goring’s spiritual messages, listening to Gregorian music 🙏🏼😊
Thank you Fr. Mike for this.
You have no idea how much I love Fr. Mike and his messages! It's like the Lord is talking to me through him. God bless you, Father!
Loved it, thanks to our God who is always behind in everything we plan to do, need to do!
Thanks Fr., God bless!
I sleep in intervals of 2 - 3 hours at a time. So this is my gap time at 3:35 am. Next time I wake up would be to get ready for Mass...oh how I wish I could sleep straight through the night without waking!
Well this is interesting.... I forgot about this video... I do not remember watching this.... and I was the last one to comment about how pivotal this video was to me. I did not take it to heart. What a wake up call. God Bless Fr Mike and Ascension Press.
You are awesome fr. Mike! Straight to the point, well-thought and realistic. Thank you as usual! Praying for you!
This is maybe my greatest struggle, please pray for me!
You nailed it Padre. Thanks for the reminder.

When I was a child I loved staying up and now that I’m old I can’t wait to get to bed 😇💤

I recently started to struggle with sleeping early, this year i'm getting into college and i was a little concerned about how it was going to impact on my hours of sleep, i got the goal of sleeping at least one one or two hours more this week, today i found this video and something tells me that maybe God wants to tell me i should definitly sleep at least a little more. College and responsabilities are important but the sleep time of a child of the Lord its not negotiable, so you the person reading this pass midnight, go to bed please
So wise! Thanks for this. Praying that the Lord would raise up more priests like you...thanks x
So helpful. Thank you Fr. Mike.
How ironic and timely Fr. Mike!
