hi Lesley, I also fall asleep on a regular basis when i rest in myself... that's part of the fun, allowing myself to nap if I want and not feel like my 'meditation' didnt count because i wasn't concentrating.

Not concentrating is what i'm going for , for about 15 mins, just feeling good and content for a bit, without thinking about the various snags that are taking up my attention. 
If that turns into a power nap so be it. 
I would shudder to call that meditation or have any connotation to rawat connected to anything I do.

If I dont concentrate on the problem, it's easier for me to see solutions I find, so I use this exercise most days. Find something I feel relaxed about, maybe a bird outside singing, maybe a gentle emotion from a memory, maybe the feel of my pillow or the cat curled up with me. I never know what and don't plan that , I just reach for something to keep me feeling rested. 
I think it's the sort of thing I would do as a child, just step away from stuff and let myself just be happy anyway for a bit, press the reset button. As a child I also had no problem allowing that to turn into a nap.
I saw a joke the other day, something about someone doing an 'all dayer' meaning they hadn't taken a nap... hahah, I could relate
