    Why is it when I sometime meditate I fall asleep..? Would this count as not meditating properly??

    I'd say it doesn't count as "proper" but I'm stumped as to how to fix it...

    In my experience there could be two reasons:

    1. Sometimes meditating while lying down can make you more likely to fall asleep. Sitting or even standing meditation might be better if this is an issue.

    2. Sometimes you are just plain out too tired to meditate and your body will try to make you fall asleep whenever you are doing anything relaxing. I've legit almost fallen asleep during sitting meditation after a bad night of sleep or an exhausting day.

    Some meditations are designed to make you fall asleep.

  5. Yes it happens to me too sometimes. Tensing all your muscles and release a couple times helps. Also you can splash cold water in your face before you sit down.

    Meditation (depending which kind you do...) gives you and reveals to you what you need to do.

    It is very important to be relaxed but wide awake. You can meditate lying down but this will encourage you to fall asleep. Ideally you should at least sit upright with your back straight

    your body relaxes so it falls asleep, it's normal, I think
