If your schedule doesn’t demand that you be somewhere right after sitting and at that point your mind is clear, then sit a while longer than an hour.  Every moment you sit on the cushion is valuable if you bring your mind back to the object of meditation without reacting. Then you are doing the right thing. ... One more thing: there are some people who have exactly the opposite experience. They find that the first ten minutes of the hour they are very sharp, very alert and then they drift into this fog where they don’t even know which end is up. It does not matter.
