Meditation is about observing, not judging. Being aware, and focusing.<\/p>\n<p>I&#39;ll walk around the house to wake up and get some energy. Washing my face with cold water helps, too.<\/p>\n<p>Better to do evening meditation earlier. If I fall asleep then that&#39;s what happens. As long as it&#39;s not habitual or frequent, I don&#39;t view it as a problem. We&#39;re all human.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Oliver W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I don\u2019t meditate in the evening &#8211; meditation generally energized the brain so it\u2019s not good to do it too close to bed. Try earlier!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ida C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It doesn&#39;t matter. If you fall asleep while meditating, you have effectively silenced the conscious mind, which was the intent of meditating in the first place. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Catrina Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Try not to meditate once you are already in bed. I find that that when I meditate before I get into bed, I stay awake for the duration of the meditation. Also, make sure you sit somewhere else to meditate that isn\u2019t your bed. I usually just sit on the floor.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Necati U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I try to notice at the beginning of meditation, or before, how sleepy I am and then I adjust my posture. I also decide if it matters if I drift off a bit. Sometimes it is ok and sometimes my goal is to be alert enough to focus on my breath. Generally I don\u2019t fall asleep often during meditation.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jennifer P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I never get tired during my meditation. The practice of awareness keeps me awake. I also almost never lay down always sitting. Unless it is during update. And that is more of a relaxation and not a true meditation for me.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Damian U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Use your environment to your advantage. Designating a space for meditation separate from where you sleep. This will help you stay awake during meditation and may also assist with any difficulty falling asleep.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sophia S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Try doing the meditation as soon as you get home instead of waiting until right before bed. This will allow you to unwind from your day and lower your stress level, but will also allow you to get the rest of your routine done before you fall asleep!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mari Q.
