It normally takes me forever to fall asleep, but meditating has helped me cut that time down and fall asleep faster (I also think it helps with how well I sleep too). I sit on the floor against my bed (I need the back support lol), and sit criss-cross (it\u2019s the most comfortable position for me). I usually have white noise on in the background or music if I\u2019m more stressed or distracted. Then I just focus on my breathing and calming my mind (normally I have at least 3 things going on in my head at any given time). I also use that time to center myself and release and pent up emotions or energy that I have to feel centered and calm when I am done. I can take anywhere from a minute to 10 to meditate and some nights I am too worked up to meditate successfully (I still try though). And I make sure that I have all my alarms set and my phone is all ready for me to go to sleep.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Odila G.
