It was suggested to me long time ago not to meditate before sleep, I forget the reasons why. I had to wait till little before midnight my time to meditate. Daily sitting is possible while parenting a toddler, but it just means being a little more flexible. 🙂 Also, I cheated a little and wrote a 11 words poem instead of my typical 10 words poem that has been the norm for my meditation poem series.
Meditation Poem #34
everything passes
expect this precious moment
one breath at a time
I often fall asleep if I meditate before bed. So I try it earlier. Nice poem

Yeah that is my issue too. Also I find that meditating in the morning is like a preparation for my day, to put me in a relaxed and at ease state to start the day.

I too enjoy starting my day with zazen.

sometimes the opposite happens to me if I meditate before bed, I become hyper awake and alert. But if I’m physically exhausted, I start nodding off while meditating.
