Steve,

With all of these addictions to external stimulus- sometimes I meditate before bed just so I *can* fall asleep. I am attempting no electronics 30 minutes before bed, which is a perfect window of meditation.

I participated in a group meditation the other day and the woman fell asleep- but when she woke up, she actually woke up in a hypnogogic state and saw her granddaughter in the astral form.

So... I think feeling tired during a nightly practice is okay- and if you fall asleep, that's okay too. Meditation yields benefits, during and after the practice itself.

Sometimes I just lay on my back and stare at the various movements behind my eyelids and observe the conversation that stems from doing so.

I agree, the shower is a nice place to meditate.

Cheers ~ = )
