Is it okay to meditate in bed to build habit?

I find it easier to commit to meditation if I allow myself to do it in bed, however, I think my meditation is more powerful when I separate it from my sleep. I use meditation to fall asleep but it can be used for much more.

I suppose so but I think it’s better to sit up and do it so you can concentrate better. Though if you’re tired maybe it’s better like that to just get it done.

In my opinion, there can be many ways of doing things, but there is only one best good way of doing it. Meditation on the floor is the best way, then comes the mat and if you are staying in a one room outside when on rent or as Paying guest, and the floor is too dirty you can do it on the bed.

Yes! It’s all about mindfulness and relaxation for me. Bed is a fine place even if it results in sleep

Yes, it is. I sometimes meditate in bed before getting up in the morning, right after I’ve woken up, but the risk of falling back asleep is really big unless I’m exceptionally lively that morning (those are the mornings I usually decide to do this.) I often meditate sitting up on my bed as well. If I can’t sleep, I do breathing exercises; mindfully scan my body; or something like that. I think that one of the most essential points of meditation that anyone can do it anytime, anywhere—even in bed.

Yes. It helps quiet a racing mind and makes it easier to fall asleep. Instead of lying awake and thinking or worrying about the future, I’m focusing on how I feel in the present. This is a peaceful, calming exercise.

I’ve only been doing this for three days and still getting my feet wet. My thoughts on this question are that doing something is better than doing nothing. So, yes. I think it’s like anything else. We keep experimenting with new ideas and what’s comfortable.

I was trying to meditate in bed however this was not really efficient. Most of the time I was falling asleep in the meantime and could not keep my concentration. Since some days I’m doing it in a sitting position, just after yoga practice. It works much better.

I like to meditate in bed, mostly because I make my bedding a “cozy” area for myself. I have a small string of LED lights on the headboard, candle nearby, and it’s a soft comfy place for me to start my day, or wind down at night. I have found it much easier to close everything else out during that time, rather than to find a place elsewhere in the house where I might be interrupted. It is also easier for me to stick to it as a routine.

Meditation to me is like many other things in that you get out of it what you put in. Meditation isn’t easy, but you will be more likely to do it if in a reasonably comfortable spot. So if that is from a seated position in bed, I think that works just fine.
