Question Six months in and I still fall asleep every single time. Is something wrong with me?

I sit at 9pm after work and within about eight minutes I am gone. I have tried sitting upright, cold room, eyes half open. Nothing holds. Is this a discipline failure or is my body telling me something?

This is the clearest description of the difference I have read. I think I spent most of last year in the second one and called it progress.

Genuinely relieved to read a practitioner write this. It makes me trust the rest of what you say more, not less.
