Meditation

I started meditating before I go to sleep at night. I was trying to find a way to calm my mind so I don't wake up 5 or 6 times during the night like usual. I've never had a problem falling asleep. I just can't seem to stay asleep all night long. So, anyway, the meditation didn't seem to do much the first few days, but last night I slept all the way through for the first time in months. All the buddhist documentation I've read states that you have to be patient because the affects of meditation are not immediate. So, I'm hoping I'll sleep all the way through again tonight as long as I keep taking the time to meditate prior to going to sleep. It's the most amazing feeling meditating. It's almost like the euphoria after you have sex to be honest. Simply an amazing feeling. All the scattered thoughts that enter your mind while in that state of relaxation are viewed completely impartially and you're able to disect them and dispose of them very quickly instead of dwelling on them in your dreams/sleep. Anyway, I would strongly recommend that anyone who has anxiety or stress problems should do some reading on meditation and the buddhist style of meditation.
