Contemplative fieldnotes: It is all very well to know the theory (eg: limitations of restful states) but you really have to see habits & hidden assumptions of mind at work at a subtle level. This doesn't mean figuring out why/where they came from, but just seeing through them.https://twitter.com/misen__/status/1104663864786997249 …
As someone said to me, it's not a bad place to get stuck, and is a sign of a maturing onsoght, but it is easy to cling on to an idea of practicing in a relaxed way instead of actually going much deeper. This advice was also context/practice dependant, so there's that.

It’s an occasional problem for me, especially if I practice just before bed when I’m restful/tired anyway.

Practicing when tired is one of my favourites, especially as you go to sleep in bed....lots of fun & insight to be found there! I suppose there's no point making a big deal of it....because you just get all serious and up-tight, which is probably much worse than being lazy
