Why not? Listen to a sleep meditation from an app like Simple Habit or Calm or a Binaural Beat meditation. Or do a meditation with a silent mantra in your head while prone in your bed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Thea Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I would not make the bed time my main meditation but good meditations to do in bed are body scan meditations or living kindness meditation<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jos U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I personally really enjoy the head space app there are a number of meditation options and they also have sleep casts that are great for going to sleep. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Christoffer N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Removing distractions and stopping activities that stimulate complex thinking   improves sleep quality and duration. Meditation is certainly a way of doing that. If you wanted to try it, have a think about whether you\u2019d want to be able to fall asleep while meditating and how you could do so without the risk of being disturbed during the night. Even a short meditation while seated in a darkened room will help slow your brain from Beta waves (thinking) into Alpha waves (relaxation), on its way to falling asleep. It\u2019s better to consider it as a nice thing to do when you can, rather than you \u201cshould\u201d do &#8211; the last thing you want is to feel stressed about going to sleep because you didn&#39;t get a chance to meditate!

I will say I enjoy meditation before sleep puts me in a relaxed place I also try to meditate during the waking hours sitting up but if I don\u2019t fit it in night time can be the perfect spot for a guided or just music I like to mix it up <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Samuel W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">A body scan meditation may be good before sleep. It helps to analyze the emotions in the body that may not have been released yet.  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Baptiste E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I found it was the easiest time to make sure I actually did it! I had used guided meditations from the  10% app. I liked how it has a little  tutorial video first. I could psych myself up for the quick video and it  rolls right into the meditation. Often I\u2019d find that I fall asleep before the end. I asked a big meditator friend of mine if I was still benefiting and she said that your subconscious is going through the motions (although she saiid it in a way that made more sense and sounded professional) so I say yes fine to meditate before going to sleep- aides in falling asleep and helpful in getting a habit started because at some point you\u2019re going to go to bed! I have also found directly after exercise to be a really nice time for short breath meditation as I cool down. Good luck out there. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Edna O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes we should meditate but you can do it at any time you want. I have a app called headspace that guides you through meditation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Carlo E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">The best way that I like most is lie down on the bed. Focusing on the stomach rising and flat. With my hands on my stomach, I can place my attention to the movement of my stomach while breathing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">German U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think that is a way to start relax your mind before you go to bed. I do it with short sessions because long ones makes me fall sleep when I\u2019m in bed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Randall E.
