Michael, getting checked is not just for *beginners*. It can be useful ,even for an advanced meditator. Just hearing the words in a calm relaxed state can have a beneficial effect that allows one to experience *effortlessness*in a more effortless manner. Kind of like greasing the skids or even allowing the *bottom* to fall-out!

None of the teachers ever gave a specific reason other than "you might fall asleep." The implication was always that there were some mighty good reasons not to do so, but no specifics given, except for one initiator who said that you release so much stress while you sleep that if you meditate even sitting up in the bed you sleep in, you would re-absorb the stress. All Governors knows why. I suspect you have been to lazy to ask directly istead relying on what you have "heard". Please have a checking and ask the question at the end of the session.
