I Get Tired.

Getting enough sleep should generally be a firm goal in a healthy lifestyle. Adequate sleep is also an important foundation for meditating well. Tiredness during meditation is not automatically a bad thing. Sometimes it is only when we become still that we notice how tired we actually are.

There are other things you can do as well. An upright seat without back support is often recommended for this very reason: it can help you stay awake and attentive. Keeping your eyes open, changing the time of day, moving a little beforehand, or taking a few conscious breaths already helps many people. If you still become tired every time, you could also try walking meditation, for example.
