Contradiction with Proverbs 3:24
Proverbs 3:24 states that "when thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet," which contrasts with the implication in Daniel 8:18, where Daniel experiences a deep sleep not described as peaceful or sweet due to the circumstances of a vision.
