Meditation: Help asking..

So, something happened to me about a week and a half ago. When I can't go to sleep sometimes, I always meditate. Usually when I meditate, I feel numb, not at all in a bad way, in a great way actually; in a way like floating.

Anyway, I was sleeping at my boyfriend's apartment and couldn't get to sleep. When I sat up and meditated, my body felt like it was twisting. Not twisting as in it physically hurt, but in a way that I felt very off-balanced. The top half of my body from the torso to the head kept wanting turn to the right and the bottom half wanted to turn to the left. Every time I opened my eyes to see if I was possibly tilting myself, I was still sitting up perfectly straight and aligned.

Has this happened to anyone else? Usually when I meditate it takes 20-30 minutes before I go to sleep. That time, it took about 45 minutes to nearly an hour. It just made it hard for me meditate.

yes this is normal. not just within mediation but sometimes when your sitting up still with ur eyes closed for a long period of time your mind makes u feel off balance. its goo though. just means your mind is being actively used.

Thank you so much. I was getting a little worried because it was the first time I actually felt like that during meditation.
