Jennydoris: It's really a bad thing to sleep in the church. I have seen so many people doing that and I have caught myself doing that too. Even today I wanted to do same but then I suddenly remember that am in the church. It's either that I was stressed out on Saturday, or I didn't go to bed early or maybe the sermon is either too long or not lively. These are the few things that makes me wanna sleep in the church. I believe other people will have their own reasons. And I know also that so many people do sleep in the church but it will be very hard for them to admit it.

Danhumprey: Mehn! I hate sleepy in church,honestly. To me,it's just not polite. It's just ridiculous. I don't like it when I'm being tapped by the usher or someone sitting by my side. Or when the pastor caught me sleeping and ask me to stand up.


A more recent incidence of sleeping in church was last Sunday service. Early in the morning of that day(around 3am - 5am),I was awake,surfing the net. After then,I went back to sleep and by 6:30am,I was up. I had wanted to wake up by 6:00am and start preparing for service o,but I woke up late. Started preparing for service. And by 7am,I was on my way to church. I got to church before 8am. Service usually start by 8am. I was lively as the service was going on. But when it was time for the pastor's sermon,sleep came. It wasn't that the pastor's message was boring per se(infact,it was shorter than normal),but sleep won't let me be. To make matter worst,the weather was cool and I sat near one of the side doors,and the cool breeze was blowing past me. Gradually,I began to feel sleepy. Twice,I slept off only to wake up when a strange feeling that the chair I was sitting on wanted to break,surge through me.

Na so I wake up each time and pretend like I wasn't sleeping.

Therock5555: LMAO chio this is funny. And I noticed its always during sermorn or prayers pple sabi sleep too much.

That means devil too sabi knock person na

jnrbayano: Those time I slept in the church here are the immediate and remote causes:

1. Immediate cause: Played game or watched film/football into my sleeping time the night before Sunday
Remote cause: Myself

2. Immediate cause: Found the church proceedings boring that time
Remote cause: Myself

3. Immediate cause: Hunger (sleeping in order to try suppress hunger in the period I am in the church)
Remote cause: Myself

Now I don't sleep in the church anymore, why?

1. I realised that why I slept in the church in the time past was strictly my fault

2. Since I see it as strictly my fault, I can surmount it by proper analysis of the situation.

3. Began resting well in the night before Sunday to escape being tired during Mass

4. Realised that I can't go for an exam, interview or infront of a mortal dignitary and be caught napping. Why will I appear before my creator and sleep?

5. I learnt to put mind over body. Now, hunger where is thy sting?

6. Most importantly, if you decide not to sleep in the church and act naturally in a way aversed to it, God rubberstamps it. Devil will realise you mean business and flees.

Happy Sunday
