How long does it take you to fall asleep?

[Independent voter]

Soon as my head hits the pillow.

[Nigloh]

Depends on when you start counting. 99% of the time I watch shit on my PC while in bed so I fall asleep whenever, be it 30 mins since I got to bed or 5 hours. More often than not I fall asleep and wake up 1-2 hours later and then stay awake for like 3-4 hours and then sleep for another 4 or so.

what's asmr

[Chinese Bootlickers]

Around 45 minutes to an hour. Shit sucks man.

[Puupi]

I've had trouble falling asleep for a while but I've been listening to ASMR lately and it works well for me.

I've been listening to ASMR for years and it's great.

[Mendzia]

Very quick like 10min especially when im dead tired after rough day.

Sleep is very important for good health. How long does it take you to fall asleep, or how long do you give yourself to fall asleep before you give up?

I sleep 4-5 hours a night and those 4-5 hours I am PTFO, I crawl into bed and pass out withing minutes.

[Stealthyjake]

sometimes 10 mins, sometimes hours, my routine constannnnntly changes, I don't think ive stayed in a decent routine for more than 2 weeks for like 9 years lol

[Hottage]

If I lay by myself about an hour.
If I listen to music 10-15min.
If my partner wants to chat about the day, 2-3min. It causes us some issues.

If I'm on my phone it can take me minimum of an hour. If I give myself no screen time about 30~ before I decide to sleep then usually within 10 minutes.

[Azerox]

Im so tired after my busy day with work etc im gone in 60 seconds.

[Rotted]

well i'm down to 3-4 hrs on avg per night.... and i don't go to bed till i'm dead tired to ensure i don't lay awake.. still i'd say 30 mins or so. I turn on netflix and set a time of 90mins on the TV. Personally i hate sleep and wish science could do away with the need for it.

Might not feel it or see it, but 4 hours you're going to make yourself ill.

[Unholyground]

Usually like less than 5 minutes, sometimes even within 30 seconds of my head hitting the pillow if I am tired enough, or couch, or floor. I can sleep anywhere.

I do however wake up every couple of hours every night mostly, pretty sure I have horrible arthritis.

Ya, if you don't get a minimum of 7-8 a night you are guaranteed to develop Alzheimer's or dementia, or Parkinson etc. Your brain needs to hit all stages of sleep to heal itself every day from the low level of brain damage it incurs from the chemical bath it is subjected to throughout your waking hours. The only exception is a certain gene that a small % of the population has which allows people to do the process in 5 hours.

[Demona3]

I usually lay down, and flip on the TV. I'm usually out within 10 mins. My husband usually turns off the TV. lol

[Forgettable]

Most nights it's near instantly. Some nights if I'm not that tired, it can be 10-20 minutes. Rarely, if I'm really worried about something, up to 1 hour.

[Kynario]

Usually less than 5-10, sometimes under stress up to 3 hours. Depends

Yoga and eating plant-based foods helps me cope with the stress (I'm at Dental School).

[letssee]

I go to bed at 9:26, and if I'm not asleep by 9:36-9:40, I give up and take a sleep formula pill.

Should I give myself more time?

If u think about the time ur brain will stay awake. Stop thinking, for me if i think to much i just stay still in bed usually on my back and not on the side even if u might feel unconfartable and then u just sleep

About 5 min. Not drinking pop really helps with that. I find a lot of people who say they have trouble sleeping but drink sugar and caffeine all day.

It varies for me. On a good night, maybe an hour. On a not so good night, anywhere from 2-4 hours (or just not really falling asleep at all).

I take those melatonin gummies sometimes, and they do help (seems like I fall asleep quicker and feel better in the morning). Side effect of melatonin for me is that I dream more often when I take it, and those are intense nightmares sometimes.

Melatonin has given me some of the worse nightmares as well. Also the only times I've experienced sleep paralysis is when I'm taking the stuff. I use it sparingly now. But for sure it does the trick if you want to knock out quickly.
