Venerable Nivato | This is Good Enough | Meditation at Cambodian Buddhist Society of WA

Meditation should make you feel energised and relaxed, if it is making you tired then you are most likely trying too hard. A key ingredient to meditation is not willpower (which is counterproductive), but having a sense of gratitude and contentment during meditation in your day to day life.
