"Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep."
Psalms 121:4
I never really thought about whether God slept or not. We know that he rested when he was done creating the world, but this verse and, really, all we know about him, suggests that he does not sleep--since he is always aware of us, and always there to help us when we need it. Indeed, the whole idea of this verse is to assure us that God will never put us on hold, or get back to us after the weekend. He is always there, assisting and protecting us.
Although we always want to learn to be more like God, forgoing sleep is probably not the best way to do that in this case. Instead, perhaps a different aspect of the lesson will work. :) Today, let's make time for the people around us, even when it isn't perfect timing for us. Let's do what we can for others, and bring joy into their lives through service as we learn to love as God does, and to be there for each other, as much as we can be, as he is always there for us.
