Try doing a meditation for sleep if you haven’t, there’s a lot of great apps for it. I like Calm and Headspace. If your body is still and your mind is calm you’ll get almost as much rest as if you were asleep anyway.
I also had a same problem but meditation could be only 5min each day. So you can just meditate while in bed to sleep. Meditation even can help you sleep better and relax you so just do it before sleep for 5mins.
I’ve been having trouble with this as well Only thing I can think of and what will try to do is schedule my evening meditation earlier and/or at least try the night time mental “thought exercise” feature in the Fabulous App under the meditation exercises section.
Mornings. Mornings are a wonderful time to meditate. They prepare you for the day and start of with a positive. Ending the day in meditation isn’t a bad idea either. But I find starting off with peace usually helps me through my day. So maybe try switching the times?
Try fitting your meditation into your morning routine, even if it means getting up earlier. OR – tell everyone at home you need 15 minutes to yourself when you get back from work. HTH.
I usually have that problem too. So I meditate while laying down in bed, preparing to sleep, so I meditate but I don’t feel tired.
Hi! I’ve had those problems as well, but my go to practice is to put something unusual on my bed! That says "I haven’t done something" like a cup, or a hat, or anything that you have.
My advice to you would be to set an alarm for the time you want to start the meditation. Lets say 9:00, at 9:00 you would stop whatever youre doing if you can and just practice the meditation. This way you could either go to be afterwards or continue doing what youre doing and then go to sleep.
You could try setting up an alarm on your phone 10-15 earlier than your evening routine to get you there on time. Try the bedtime alarm in iPhone if you have one, I’m sure something similar is available in other phones too. Good luck!
Best time to meditate is early morning in empty stomach, i.e., after your daily routines. Do breathing excercises (Pranayama) while travelling back home or after dinner for 10min at night. You don’t have to transcend at night (anyway you will during sleep, lol).
