YSK you can meditate without sitting quietly
Active meditation — or meditation on the move — can help you get in touch with the present moment throughout your day. Here's how.
WHY YSK- Many people practice mindfulness and meditation as part of their lives, and some would like to but feel like they don't have time to sit down and meditate properly. Once you've gotten used to doing it as a part of your daily activities, it becomes easy to simply take a few breaths and gain some peace from your everyday existence. You don't need to wait for a time when you can sit and clear your mind completely. It's a nice bonus, but not necessary for living a mindful life.

The world should have more meditation. Another great time to practice is when lying down for bed.
Edit: I suffer from sleeplessness, and do not use this help me fall asleep. I now recognize that my case may be user-specific, as I do NOT use this time for sleeping or falling asleep. I have other practices that help when that time comes, after meditation.
I disagree regarding lying down for bed. Never teach your body to associate the relaxation of meditation with sleep. Unless you only need it for immediately before you sleep to calm your mind.
I can now have mindfulness while doing activities (not driving ofc). Your body will do what you teach it, and I’ve stopped falling asleep meditating when I removed it from bedtime.
Yes, the world needs more meditation.
I don’t know, it’s worked fine for me to do before bed as well. My body hasn’t conditioned itself to sleep when I meditate. I think it’s a good potential side effect to be aware of, but I wouldn’t recommend against it.
That's calming down yourself for bed which is very different. Meditation is building mindfulness. Going to sleep is the opposite of mindfulness. If your goal is to meditate, then this doesn't help.
