i meditate before sleeping at night, in bed, in the dark, all comfy n stuff. usually lasts 3-5hrs. i can keep my mind quiet if i want but i've found i prefer to let it wander & chatter & see where it goes. sometimes it insists on being quiet, though. if it goes in a direction i don't like i redirect it & i don't have any trouble doing this. so i really never have a bad meditation imo. very rarely i'll fall asleep quickly but that doesn't leave me disappointed the next day bc i don't see meditation as a requirement. i'm very lenient with myself. plus, i feel like it happens so much throughout my days...like when i'm walking 1-2hrs, when i'm cleaning, when i'm eating, when i'm gazing out of the window or staring at a wall. the only times i feel like i'm not meditating are when i'm doing things like listening to someone (or some show/movie) or reading something. also, i usually always do what gw does: take a few seconds throughout my day, sometimes multiple times a day, to feel in awe that i exist, that I Am.
