Do you fall asleep during meditation? Deepak Chopra explains why

“Ideally, it is best to meditate twice a day, once in the morning before work, and in the early evening after work and before dinner. That way the rest you gain from the meditation serves as a basis for the activity that follows,” Chopra said while answering query of a user related to the right time to meditate.

The user asked Chopra if it’s okay to meditate past 8pm and the spiritual leader advised for early meditation in the second half of the day.

“If you meditate right before going to bed, you don’t have that same benefit. But if the choice is between meditating before bed or not at all, then it is better to meditate even if it is late. However, now that you know the value of earlier meditation, make an effort to establish a regular routine so it is not put off until bedtime,” said the popular public speaker.

Meditation has multitude of benefits from reducing stress, promoting productivity, regulating moods, helping you stay focussed to even help improve your relationships in general.
