We critically do not have enough time to do all our affairs, the morning tension turns into the evening, and we carry the evening stress to sleep, without stopping to think about cares, even when the head touches the soft pillow. And then we also wonder where the nightmares come from!
The day must be properly started and finished. In order to discard all experiences, thoughts, events, and clear your mind before going to sleep, you need to read the evening prayer. With the help of such prayers, we can thank God that he gave us today to live another day, we can ask him for intercession and help in tomorrow's affairs.
