Today my thoughts have been directed to D&C 88: 123-126 "See that ye love one another; cease to be covetous; learn to impart one to another as the gospel requires. Cease to be idle; cease to be unclean; cease to find fault one with another; cease to sleep longer than is needful; retire to they bed early, that ye may not be weary; arise early, that your bodies and your minds may be invigorated. And above all things, clothe yourselves with the bond of charity, as with a mantle, which is the bond of perfectness and peace. Pray always, that ye may not faint, until I come. Behold and lo, I will come quickly, and receive you unto myself. Amen"
Specifically the part about the "...cease to sleep longer then is needful; retire to they bed early, that ye may not be weary; arise early, that your bodies and your minds my be invigorated..." I know that I have been treating my body very poorly specifically with my sleeping. But I know that when I do sleep properly I have so much more energy, I am much happier.
By keeping God's commandments I know that our bodies and our souls, which combined to make our spirit, can be much better taken care of. While we will eventually receive perfect bodies, that is not the case now. So we must keep our bodies as close to that as possible.
Please keep this in mind while you are eating and when you stay out late, think of the consequences that it could have on your body in the long run.

D&C 88:124 is one of my favorite scriptures, probably because it's one of the hardest scriptures for me to live by - lol! I agree fully with you that I feel a lot better when I have a good sleeping routine.
