Yogi: My mindfulness is okay during the day, but after I wake up, the built-up mindfulness during the day is gone; I feel like I have been out in the city all night and I need to start from the beginning every morning. What can I do about it?

Sayadaw: Try to stay mindful when you get into bed and let yourself fall asleep mindfully and see if it makes a difference.

When you wake up, don’t think of how you wake up as a problem. Take it as this is how it is now and take it from there. Don’t think that you’re starting from zero.
