Thread: how fast can you fall asleep?

It's amazing the number of people for whom it take ages to fall asleep... It must be so boring...
Unless it's by choice. I do sometimes postpone sleeping for the fun of daydreaming, but I'd go crazy if I had no choice but toss and turn for hours...

I may have started day dreaming cause it took me too long to fall asleep, I just know I can't just turn off like some people, unless I'm real tired. I don't know if I'd even want to, well not until could start controlling my dreams as well as my day dreams.

Before I started on mediaction, it would take me ages too to fall asleep.
Usually 1-2 hours.

It can take anywhere from 1-2 hours for me, often sleep just doesn't come and i have to get back up again.

It usually takes me 1 - 2 minutes. But it depends on when I go to sleep and when have I gone to sleep the days earlyer.

A good hour or hour and a half. If I'm not attempting any LD techniques, I toss and turn once every ten or fifteen minutes.

Normally I can fall asleep pretty quick - must be in about 15 minutes...
Unfortunately, yesterday morning I had a lie in until 10:30, then when I came to sleep last night at 10pm I couldn't.

Ended up not getting any sleep for about 3 and half hours

45 minutes usually...

Last week has been off the usual - it takes about 1h or so to fall asleep.

5 minuites ish (1 song on my CD player.)

It depends: If Im really tired, 5 minutes.. Average: 20-40 minutes. If I took a nap, or tried to wild, about 2 hours. But thats because I get up and do stuff because I get bored :p

Takes me 5-15 minutes to fall asleep. I <3 sleep.

2 hours on a good night. Usually more like 2 and a half.

Hmm. 2 hours+. Sometimes 3. Once, I went to bed around 11. I fell asleep at 5' o clock. It was horrible.

Im normally gone within 10 mins. ID be pissed if it took me over an hour to get to sleep every night, after like half hour i get really agitated and find it hard to get to sleep.

It can take me anywhere from 10-40 minutes. It depends on how busy my mind is at the time.

normally it takes me about 15 minutes just depending on if I can stop thinking. Sometimes (maybe 1/10) it takes me about an hour to go to sleep. If I don't have a curfew that day, I normally can go straight to sleep when I go to bed because I am tired. But normally If I want to go to sleep fast, I have to make an effort to.

If I'm really tired, almost before my head hits the pillow.

Between 3 and 10 minutes if I'm tired. On average, between 10 and 30. If I'm stressed, caffeinated, alert, or trying to work through a problem, it can take me up to 2 hours. But that's rare. Usually I'd say I'm out within 10.

Between 10-30 minutes, depends if I am tired. Even if I've slept in the same day already the "reverse blinking" method works perfect for me.
Of course there are exceptions, for example if I am in bed, thinking about when I'm gonna sleep it will come slower.

45 minutes to 2 hours ... and I'm an evening cannabis user . If I don't smoke within 2 hours before bed it could take up to 3 hours to fall asleep.

If the neighbors are loud, 30 minutes. If not, usually I'm aware for 10 minutes, and then I'm out.

Usually between 30 minutes and an hour, I would guess. If I get one of my rare bouts of insomnia, all bets are off...at least 3 to 4 hours. I should really consider having some melatonin tablets hanging around for just such cases...

Recently its been taking me a few hours to get to sleep!

Its so annoying. I have to sort out my sleeping schedule.
