Is it ok to meditate in bed if I have insomnia?

Yes, for a bedtime wind-down practice, meditating in bed is fine and often helpful. The one thing to watch is the pressure to perform. If you find yourself lying there anxious about whether it is “working,” ease off and simply follow the guidance without expecting a result. Let rest come as a byproduct, not a target. StillMind’s sleep sessions are made for exactly this, guiding you gently in bed without turning sleep into another task.
