The first question is,

When we are mentally or physically tired,

Should we do meditation?

Does meditation help?

If you are physically tired,

It's better to actually rest before starting meditation.

But if you say,

This is the set time I set myself off for meditation,

Then you might be a little tired,

But it's okay.

If you're tired,

You can go ahead with meditation.

But if you're mentally tired,

Such as if you're stressed out,

Meditation may actually help.

This nature of meditation is all about calming your body and mind to be able to focus onto a singular point.

It doesn't really matter that much whether your body or mind is tired.

The only risk may be that you may fall asleep or you may feel sleepy if your body is too tired.

You can do meditation even a while and not stay asleep.
