While I appreciate your sentiments and understand what you're saying, my question would be if someone couldn't sleep that night because they were dealing with an issue then why would it be so easy to sleep in the Lord's house the next day?
Maybe because "dealing with it" involved having lengthy conversations with people that cut into what normally would have been one's sleeping hours.

Maybe because they actually feel safe at church (which they don't elsewhere), and so could actually sleep (not the most spiritual reason, but a real one . . .)

etc.
