how long does it take you to fall asleep?

[JohnCU]

most of the time 1-1.5 hours, sometimes 2-3 hours.

if this is a repost, well then don't reply.

 

[mattocs]

usually about 5 minutes

 

[SacrosanctFiend]

Within 5 minutes of laying down.

 

[2Xtreme21]

Depends on how tired I am.

 

[IEC]

I'm gone with a ten-count.

Hell week for me, averaging 3-4 hours a night.

 

[FoBoT]

well it depends, of course
but often, 1-5 minutes

i can fall asleep on an airplane before take off

if i am somewhat sleepy, i can pretty much knock myself right out in a few minutes

3- 4 hours. Born with an insomnia disorder. As long as I can remember I've never slept well. I usually only get 2-3 hours sleep at night if I'm lucky.

[novasatori]

seconds to hours
depends on the tiredness factor

 

[mattocs]

When I was younger I used to not be able to fall asleep. But if the room is nice and cold,. I can fall asleep in a few minutes.

 

[grohl]

[BrokenVisage]

[Demo24]

Too long.. usually hours. Fucks up my morning... I can't remember the last time I had a good night's sleep.

The dumber you are, the less time it takes you to fall asleep. The smarter you are, and hence the more thought going thru your mind, the longer it takes you to fall asleep. However, if you typically take longer than 20 minutes to fall asleep, you have a sleep disorder, see your doctor - though you may need to see a Psychotherapist.

Hmm. Well, I don't actually go to bed until I'm ready to sleep, which usually isn't until after midnight some time and, at that point, I fall asleep in within a couple minutes.

really? i've NEVER been able to fall asleep in 20 minutes, not even when tired.

 

[EvilYoda]

Usually pretty quickly...when I'm on the road working, it's usually immediately as my days can be quite long. It's nice

But there are always those nights where your brain won't shut down and you end up getting 3 hours of sleep. ah well.

 

[m1ldslide1]

5 minutes. I've heard in various classes that it should take you 15 minutes to fall asleep every night. If you're out as soon as you hit the pillow, then you need to get more sleep. Deprivation like this over many decades can apparently shorten your life significantly.

<---- doesn't get enough rest

Actually it probably has more to do with your level of stress and contentment. I never slept well until I got married. Now being happier in general, I'm more relaxed at the end of the day rather than being restless.
