Feel Sleepy During Meditation?
Do you find yourself nodding off during meditation? Getting sleepy or even falling asleep in meditation sometimes, is OK. If it happens too often, you may want to think about why & how to overcome it, because sleep & meditation are two separate activities.
Here are a few things to think about:
- Is your sleepiness a sign that you are tired? If so, get some rest.
- Meditating in a stuffy room? Open a window for some air.
- What’s your meditation posture? Sit comfortably, but not too comfortably.
- If you feel sleepy, stand for a few minutes until the sleepiness goes away.
- Meditate with eyes open to stay alert. Then there’s no temptation to nod off.
