Here are the top 10 reasons to rest:

1. Rest makes you more productive. If you feel refreshed, you can get more accomplished than if you are tired.
2. You get sick more easily if you don’t rest.
3. Rest helps you to think rationally.
4. You eventually get burnout if you don’t rest, and it takes longer to recuperate from burnout.
5. Rest helps you to deal with your emotions in relationships.
6. You have better conversations when you are rested.
7. Rest helps you to not be as stressed.
8. Rest helps you feel more optimistic about life.
9. God invites us to rest (Matthew 11:28), gives us an example of rest in the week of creation, and includes Sabbath rest in the Ten Commandments.
10. Rest gives you an opportunity to reconnect to God.
