I wonder why you can't log it? I log in my personal log at it transfers to group.  Also, I rarely sit without some resistance!  Funny thing, isn't it?  For me, this public forum has been the most helpful.  I also committed with another group to sit 108 days straight.  I find I need the open and shared committment to practice to stay with it consistently. Thanks Nancy!

I have had an ongoing relationship with major sleepiness since the beginning.  I too often put off practice until late night, at which time I  will most likely be sleepy.  I try not to bring too much judgment into it ... and experiment with placing my awareness more on the in-breath and / or keeping my eyes open (unfocused gaze down just in front of me) ... which can help.  Last resort, if I'm really struggling, I'll stand up for the entire practice.   Personally, drowsiness seems to be an unconscious way that I often deal with stress (off the cushion) ... So I try to take that into account too.  We are amazing beings! Thank you all for this supportive practice connection!
