Theforthdrive: Falling asleep or losing focus is common as Euphoric said. The trouble is that many people start to meditate thinking that the idea is that they have to turn everything off and sit blankly, whcih causes them to slip out of focus. Natural, normal awareness should still be kept. Not too tight, not too lose. It may be better if you use a visual support for your meditation, instead of closing your eyes to do it. Try looking downwards at about 45 degrees, looking steadily at an object on the ground about 3 feet away. You'll be less inclined to follow daydreams then.
