I try to meditate before bed every night and I always just fall asleep just before the 10 min bell goes off to signal the end of the meditation. It jolts me awake and I end up feeling a bit stressed out by the sensation. Any tips to help stay in the moment rather than falling asleep?

- Sit on a cushion - don’t lie down or sit in a chair - Ensure the room is cool - Have light in the room Remember - it’s not about prepping you to sleep ; it’s about processing what’s happened throughout the day and laying your mind to rest. I always spend first 5 mins to let my thoughts of the day run free and then focus my mind on the meditation. Find what works for you. Good luck!
