2 Lines for Falling Asleep & Waking Up

The past two days I've been helped by meditating on Psalm 46. I've been repeating to myself the two lines that repeat in the psalm (verse 7 & 11):

The Lord of hosts is with us;the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Last week my son's anesthesiologist told me that the way someone falls asleep under anesthesia is generally the way someone wakes up from anesthesia. So, several months ago when my son went under anesthesia for a CT scan, that day's anesthesiologist wanted to move things along quickly. He gave my son an intense dosage of anesthetic that knocked him out quickly...45 seconds tops, but he went down kicking and screaming. An hour later, Cru woke from the anesthesia in the same spirit--troubled and screaming.This last Thursday for my son's MRI, we dealt with a different anesthesiologist who moved things along more slowly. He gave my son a less intense dosage of anesthesia. It took about 3 or 4 minutes for my son to konk out. This time there was no kicking or screaming, just a gentle drifting off to sleep. And, sure enough, my son came out of the anesthesia in the same fashion--a slow, gentle waking up.This got me to thinking: is this how normal sleep works? When I fall asleep troubled do I tend to wake up troubled? When I fall asleep at peace do I tend to wake up at peace? Is the attitude and disposition I take to bed at night the attitude and disposition I wake up with in the morning?So far my experimentation shows that everyday going to sleep & waking up is much like the nature of anesthesia: how we fall asleep is how we wake up.I want to work on going to sleep and waking under the comforting words of Psalm 46. These are the lines I'll be repeating/praying as I go to bed tonight:

The Lord of hosts is with us;the God of Jacob is our fortress.

If the theory holds, I ought to find these words somewhere near my lips in the morning...
