how long does it take you to fall asleep?

[eelw]

Too long. At least 45 minutes. But since I use my DS or IPod Touch in bed, that time usually goes by much faster.

 

[potato28]

A few minutes, but it depends.

 

[Q]

15-20 minutes

 

[Jeff7]

Anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours. Typical is at least 30 minutes.

It has been easier to get to sleep though since I moved off campus and into my own apartment. Being stuck in dorms or shared apartments, I just really wasn't used to sleeping with another person in the room. Even after 2 years of that, it didn't get any better.

 

[Kaervak]

Sometimes an hour, sometimes more. I'd love to be able to fall asleep in just a few minutes.

 

[homercles337]

If im drunk then about a minute. If not, anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple hours.

Where's your pole?

 

[E equals MC2]

10-15.

Since I started working after college, my biological clock's become an accuracy nazi. Around 11pm I suddenly start to become very tired. I stop whatever it is I'm doing and go to my room - pass out immediately.

This doesn't apply to weekends or weekdays where I'm out though.

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.

So, about 30 seconds for you then, right?

When you guys say 5 minutes is that like all the time? The only time I can do that is if im way overdue and almost falling asleep as it is. A really good night for me is about 30 minutes but I average about 1-2 hours to fall asleep.

 

[ColdFusion718]

5-10 minutes, sometimes longer.

 

[gamepad]

It varies for me. Sometimes 10 minutes, other times I never sleep.

 

[dougp]

Depends on how much I've had to drink or how many sleeping pills I've had. Rarely am I ever tired enough to fall asleep on my own without waiting till 2 or 3am - that's with waking up between 7:30 and 8am.

 

[CraKaJaX]

Not long.

 

[IGBT]

..I usually read my self to sleep. 1/2 hr or so. wake up wit the book on my chest.

 

[Gothgar]

If I am tired when I lay down its pretty much instant, I've actually heard myself snore no more than a few seconds after my head hit the pillow. If I am not tired, couple minutes at most.

Same here. Usually just under an hour but, like last night which took me 2 to 3 hours to fall asleep, it can be more. There are just some nights my mind just won't stop thinking long enough to fall asleep.

 

[Regs]

On a Friday night, no more than 15 minutes. That's only because I come home at 2 in the morning after 5 straight days of work and school. Every other night it's about 30 mins or so.

 

[Flyback]

As soon as I lay down. I don't even stare at the ceiling and reflect on how the day went or plan how the next day will be (though I used to be capable of that, I no longer have a choice--I just switch off).

 

[amdhunter]

When I wasnt working, it would take me hours upon hours to fall asleep, and I couldn't wake up for anything once I did.

Now, I can sleep anytime I want, and wake up perfectly every morning. I am so happy that my life adjusted itself enough for me to be able to control my sleep perfectly. I usually fall asleep within 5-10 minutes.

 

[S Freud]

I don't like to lay in bed that long. I go to bed when I'm tired, which is usually around 1 or 2 in the morning. Lately I have been taking medication to help me fall asleep, in wich case it comes on very sudden and I go to sleep almost as soon as my head hits the pillow.

I'm smart.

Yep, it's the same with me. Sometimes it takes me forever to fall asleep.
