I want to make a clear disclaimer at this point, if you are suffering severe insomnia or stress, please ensure that you get curative help because long term stress and insomnia can cause serious curative issues. However, I would encourage you to use Meditation in conjunction with the therapies a curative practitioner might prescription as efficient meditation will help.

One of the core mistakes that habitancy make with meditation and sleep is that they try to use meditation to assuredly go to sleep and this never works and in fact it can assuredly make it harder to get to sleep. The role of meditation before sleep is to slow your body and your mind down so that it gets to a point where it is easier for it to fall simply asleep.

There are many techniques that you can use to meditate together with a seated meditation or a lying down meditation. I advise habitancy use the sitting formula over the lying formula because using the lying formula so close to going to sleep you may tend to go to sleep rather than assuredly meditating. There is a clear difference in the middle of sleep and meditation.

The core difference is that during meditation your mind needs to be clear but focused where as during sleep, you do not want to be focused you want nothing to be focused in your mind and you want your body and mind to get to that point where you shutdown.

What I advise is that if you are going to meditate prior to going to sleep then you need to use a basic meditation plan. The plan goes like this ...

1. Your meditation session should take no more than 20 minutes

2. Your meditation session should start 40 minutes prior to going to bed

3. Your meditation technique during the session should use whether the deep breathing Technique or basic amount counting.

4. Do not drink alcohol, coffee, tea or any other caffeinated drink prior to sleep or you will sway the effectiveness of the meditation session.

Two meditation techniques you should avoid 60 minutes prior to going to bed is the reflective meditation technique or the affirmation meditation technique. I have found from my own caress that if you use these techniques so close to going to bed you can start your mind focusing on whether the affirmations or reflections post your meditation session.

This means with only 20 minutes in the middle of when you desist your session and when you go to sleep, sometimes you will find that your thoughts continue on after the session and consequently can disrupt your sleep which is what you assuredly trying to avoid.

One of the reasons I have recomMended that you do not meditate and then goto bed, is that sometimes I find that the meditation will bring out various chemicals and stir up feelings in your body which could disrupt your quality to sleep and be leaving the period of 20 minutes in the middle of meditating and sleep free is adequate to conclude you down to get a good nights sleep.

I should note that my colleagues and I use this technique because our Jobs are often highly stressful and using this process at night after a heavy day so that we can get a quality nights sleep.

When used effectively, meditation can make a huge difference in the effectiveness of your sleep and the quality of your life. However, meditation is like a sport, the more institution you do, the more efficient you become.
