Bed Meditation

I find that when I am tired and go to bed, I don't fall asleep right away.  I am not restless, since I am tired, but I don't doze right off.  This vexed me for a while.  Now I see it as an invitation.  I meditate for awhile, practicing Centering prayer as I lie in bed.  It is  often the best meditation of the day, and sad to say, on some days, my only meditation.  I do not look at the clock.  I don't want to be "timing" God.  After a while I say a serenity prayer and then am more likely to fall asleep.  All in all, I get my rest, soul and body.
