Narcoleptic?

(Proverbs 24:33 KJV)  Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

Obviously this is not talking about  “sleep” (8142) being bad.  Sleep is a requirement of life.  This deals with sleeping when there is work to be done or sleeping to avoid a task.

We need to put the entire verse together to get the idea.  Actually you need to go to the next verse.  Not looking any further is one of the symptoms of this problem.  We find an answer that fits our needs and we don’t look any further.  Intellectually we go to sleep.  We can survive that.  If you don’t invent a better mousetrap because you took a nap, it probably won’t matter to you, even if it does to the mouse. 

Spiritually it could be a disaster.  If God is speaking to you and you hide behind a nap then the time to respond may pass.  Hopefully it is not an eternal mistake.

So?  Is God trying to get your attention?  It could be someone in need.  It could be you are the one in need.
