The Ben Ish Chai applies the pasuk לא יחצו ימיהם we don’t half the days. Yitzchok Avinu argued that we should not be responsible for half of our life as we are sleeping. When someone lends money with ribis,money also accumulates when he is sleeping. ואני אבטח בך but I have trust in you and I don’t have to lend money with ribis and therefore my days will be divided in half.
