Recently people who had NDE's, near death experiences, have reported being told by angelic beings during their NDE's that angels have their own living quarters and that they also have periods of rest or sleep.
Why are they being told this? Maybe because if the daily routine in heaven kind of resembles living here on Earth they'll be more relaxed concerning the afterlife!
When individuals inquired how long the angels sleep, they were informed that in a 24 hour period they slept on average 6-7 hours.
But that's not all at one time. Most angels take 2-3 naps for a few hours at a time. Angels are assigned regular duties and in the course of a daily 24 hour period they may rest or sleep whenever they wish. At their convenience. As long as their assignments are done!
And every angel has his own room with a bed that sits approximately 18" above a golden floor. Yes they each have their own private living quarters in one of the many mansions in heaven. All of the rooms are fully equipped with everything that they need! The average room size for each angel is 18 by 20 feet, but then again room size, position, and floor level can depend on the angels rank: cherubim, seraphim, archangel, and then finally your basic angel.
And every time they leave and return to their living quarters or rooms in these heavenly mansions, they're greeted by streets of gold, resembling transparent glass and gates of pearl.
Angels are mentioned at least 108 times in the Old Testament and 165 times in the New Testament.
Concerning Near-Death Experiences
In 1943, at the age of 20, Dr. George G. Ritchie, Jr., M.D., (September, 25, 1923 – October 29, 2007) was a private in the Army stationed in Texas awaiting a transfer to Richmond to study medicine at the Medical College of Virginia to become a doctor for the military.
However, he got sick with pneumonia and died. The Army physician in charge stated in a notarized statement that the medical officer summoned detected "no evidence of respiration or cardiac impulse" and declared Ritchie dead.
Ritchie had left his body in a near-death experience wandering around the hospital ward unaware he was dead. He found it strange no one could see him. He returned to his room and recognized his lifeless body, which had been covered with a sheet, by his fraternity ring. The room then became bright and Ritchie found himself in the presence of Jesus who then guided him through several realms of the afterlife before being told to return to his body.
As the ward was preparing Ritchie's body for the morgue, he thought he detected movement in Ritchie's chest and called for a medical officer who provided a shot of adrenaline to the patient's heart causing him to breathe and his heart to beat. Ritchie then returned to life with one of the most important and profound NDEs every documented.
