Sleeping in Meditation.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
Dearest Dr. Chopra
I am doing both meditation series: manifesting grace through gratitude and the energy of attraction. In relation to this, I have two questions: 1- what can I do for staying awake during meditation? I do them twice a day (morning and evening) but it often happens that I fall asleep 2- have I to put a question before beginning my meditation? … and in that case, how can I understand the answer?
Response:
The most important thing is to get more sleep at nighttime. If you still fall asleep during meditation, don’t worry about it. If you need to lie down and sleep that’s fine. Don’t try to stay awake to meditate. Sleep during meditation is a deeper quality of sleep than you have at night, and it will help you release tensions and contractions you wouldn’t ordinarily get at otherwise. When you awaken, sit up and finish your meditation time. If you have already gone over, end with 2-3 minutes of meditation.
Love,
Deepak

Question:
No matter what position I use for meditation, I fall asleep . Could you possibly explain why this happens? I wake up peacefully when the bell awakens .
Response:
If you fall asleep consistently in every meditation, it means that you are sleep deprived and your body is taking advantage of this opportunity to get the rest it needs. Usually this situation sorts itself out after a week or two of meditating. The obvious instant solution is to go to bed earlier and get a full nights sleep on a regular basis. In the meantime, don’t worry about sleeping in meditation. It is what your body needs right now, so that is what is a priority. Once the backlog of sleep deprivation is cleared away, you will be ready for an alert meditation experience.

Every morning I wake, I feel unrested, and exhausted. My head feels cloudy and strained. I`ve been sleep deprived for two years (since I had my second child). Even now, my 2 year old comes into my bed every single night. If I wake up at night, it can take me hours to fall back to sleep. When I finally fall back to sleep, my 4 year old comes in bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and ready to start his day. I`ve spent some nights at a hotel, just to sleep alone and get back on track, but I don`t even feel rested when away. How can I get my sleep corrected naturally, without medications? It`s been so long since I`ve woken up and felt refreshed, and It`s making me anxious too. Thank you.
Love it, then i need to keep on falling asleep until i can be alert :)
thank you deepack for all your life lessons
