FAQ on Meditation 035
What do you recommend for people who sleep badly?
I recommend the creation of loving-kindness, especially in the evening, just before going to bed. Cultivating loving-kindness re-shapes the personality of the meditator, creating an optimistic view of human nature, making one more understanding, more compassionate and warm towards other people. The change of relationship with the world engendered by the cultivation of loving-kindness will free the mind of the things which cause restless sleep. Cultivating loving-kindness will change the pattern of sleeping for the better.
