If you start your day with meditation, it’s important to do seated meditation and not do so lying down in your bed, or you’ll be likely to fall back asleep. This routine will help because:

• it leaves you calm and focused for the day;
• allows your mind to wake up without strain.

Getting consistently good rest will benefit everything from your immune system to your emotions.

Do just these two things:

1. Be consistent with your evening routine each night. Get up at the same time every day, even on weekends. This will train...

Acceptance is important.

If you don’t fall asleep within 20 minutes of going to bed, get up, go to another room and do a calming activity, then go back to bed. If you are lying in bed unable to sleep, your brain will soon start associating lying in bed with being awake.
