That's when he quotes the verses you mentioned and a few more. So soothing! Sometimes when I can't sleep, I can pray till I fall asleep, but sometimes my very urgent prayers just keep be awake that much more!

I, too, suffer from sleep problems, mostly induced by our dogs either stealing the bed and covers or wanting to go out all night long. :: sigh :: But those verses would really help.

The two syllables of "Yahwah" - breathe in on "Yah" and breathe out on "wah." It regulates your breathing becomes something of a soothing mantra. One of my favorite verses to use as a mantra is "Create in me a clean heart, O God. And renew a right spirit within me."
