Orthodox Parish of St. Ephraim the Syrian

When you cannot sleep it is an unfortunate event. However when you couldn’t sleep back in the day and age of Saint Ephraim there were many reasons why that might be.  Some people liked to think that if you were not able to sleep you had some black magic working within you. It took a while for the doctors and physicians in that day to figure out that it could be a health issue as well.Ephraim the Syrian upon his death left behind hundreds of hymns and poems that focused on faith and inspired many people to seek out a calling to or in the church. Ephraim was born in a Christian family but was not baptized until he was an adult. He had many times in his youth and teenage years where he was not particularly fond of following the rules. For this reason he also developed a sleeping problem. It would have been beneficial in his day if they knew of Insomnia Cures. However they did not and Ephraim suffered through it. It wasn’t until he had a run in with the law that he changed his ways for the better.

When he was arrested he sought refuge in the Lord and vowed to do better with his life and his future. His speaking with the Lord had worked and he was left out of prison and said to have learned his lesson. After Ephraim sought refuge in the Lord he no longer had any sleeping problems and really didn’t need to know about Insomnia Cures? However if he would have known he could have helped others understand exactly why they might not have been sleeping quite as well as they would have liked.
