Is over/under sleeping or over-eating sinful?

[HawkBlue27]

How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? -Proverbs 6:9

Be not among drunkards or among gluttonous eaters of meat,...
-Proverbs 23:20

Are over eating, and under or over sleeping considered sins?

 

[Reborn1977]

Yes gluttony and laziness are both considered sins. Extreme indulgence in any capacity is usually or does usually lead to sin.

I don't know about the sleeping, but over-eating is definitely sinful. It can hurt your body which the bible says is supposed to be a temple of the Holy Spirit. I struggle with over eating a lot...

If anything is done to much or to little it seems to qualify as some sort of sin. For example if you eat to much then your a glutton. But if you eat to little then your not taking care of your temple. Theres a fine line on alot of things we do. Sleeping though I don't know about. I imagine if you don't get enough sleep you are not taking care of your temple.

But we are all different. I tend to sleep 6-7 hours a night. My friend lives on just 4 hours a night and is still in good health.

 

[ErminlindaRika]

Yeah it's a form of sloth or laziness.

Oversleeping can have medical concerns attached. If you have a sleep disorder (and a lot of people do and don't realize it), then you really may be legitimately tired all the time. Overeating is gluttony.

 

[Girder of Loins]

It is person to person. I will occasionally lose track of time watching Vsauce on youtube(it's a useless knowledge show), and only get a couple hours of sleep. If it isn't interfering with your witness, then it is not a sin. Do I eat too much? Probably. Does it ruin my witness or make me stumble? Not at all. So is it a sin? Nope.

Eating toast is a sin if you don't have PB&J on it! lol
