1. that's bad?
I thought that was quite common. I always figure when I fall asleep during my meditation that I've gone to a different plane for instruction.

3. be sure to sit upright, higher on chair maybe,and maybe breathe deeper..
I practice Tibetan Buddhism and they will visualize a Bright Tara Manjusuri or Buddha to stimulate the upper body.

What form of Meditation do u do, and what time of day do you meditate, and how long have been meditating ?? getting enough sleep is a variable.

There is a really nice video meditation instruction at www.buddhanet.net and a REALLY GOOD book is 'Diamond Mind' by Rob Narin.
