Half fail 

I did around 15 minutes of meditation but then sleepiness forced me to go to sleep. I don't have any memory of getting in bed or going to sleep so I just blacked out apparently.

Day 1 (yesterday)

20 min. of meditation 

4 minutes of yoga

I was mostly unconscious while meditating and was only mildly aware of the pain in my legs and hips. I was mostly awake for yoga since I actually had to do something. I might switch from the do nothing form of meditation I've been doing to something else since I keep going unconscious during that time.

5 minutes into meditation and I already fell asleep. I'm gonna quit the do nothing technique since it's not a good technique for my sleep deprived brain and try another more engaging technique.

Day 1 (yesterday)

20 min. of meditation 

4 min. of yoga

First 5 minutes of meditation went well but then the rest of the session went to shit like it usually does.

Couldn't concentrate on following my breath after 5 minues and ended up giving up the whole idea of meditating for the night.

Day 1 (yesterday)

20 minutes of meditation 

4 minutes of yoga

Yesterday I fell back into my addictions so I'm surprised I had the motivation to meditate at all.

Day 2 (yesterday)

20 min. of meditation 

4 min. of yoga

I fell ten times harder into my addictions than the day before but at least I got some meditation done. Starting today I'm gonna TRY to watch a lot less mindless entertainment.

Day 3 (yesterday)

20 min. of meditation 

4 min. of yoga

My sleepiness wasn't bad until I sat down to meditate. Apparently trying to concentrate on my breath isn't enough to keep me awake since I kept going unconscious.

Fell asleep unintentionally again. I thought I was finally being consistent but nope.

Day 1

20 min. of meditation 

4 min. of yoga

Concentrating on my breath doesn't seem to be any better than the do nothing technique in terms of me going unconscious. Only thing I was vaguely aware of when I was trying to meditate was my body rocking back and forth.

Have you tried leo's guided meditation? During my longest streak, I resorted to it on lazy sleepy days

Day 2 (yesterday)

5 min. of yoga

20 min. of meditation

The meditation session was wasted in unconsciousness like it usually is but after a few minutes of pranayama I noticed I got a bit of an energy boost and lost the sleepiness. This has been a trend since I started doing it but wasn't entirely sure until now. I should probably switch the order of these two practices around and see what happens.

Fell asleep for several hours while trying to take a small nap. I'm going to add more techniques and time into my yoga routine when I can trust myself to be more consistent.

Switching the order of these two helped get rid of the sleepiness I usually experience during meditation. The meditation session wasn't the best but at least I was awake for it.

Day 2

4 min. of yoga 

20 min. of meditation 

For whatever reason my exhalation is always longer and more natural than my inhalation and nothing makes this more obvious than pranayama.
