How long does it take you to fall asleep?

[Dpantherman]

There have been a few times when i was beyond tired, and I actually turned off my TV and fell asleep in about 5-10 minutes. But thats is not usually the case. I normally end up laying in bed from at least 30 minutes, usually goes by fastest with my ipod on.

Inside a minute if I'm actually ready. I learned to put myself to sleep a while back, I go into somewhat of a meditative state and I'm out like a light.

If my mind isnt rambling 5 minutes.

[SgtJoo]

30-45 mins.

Well, I've already been to bed once tonight, and I'm back up. Going back to bed in few to try again. I usually fall asleep while reading. My new meds have me all screwed up, though. One is causing pain in my legs that's waking me up. Since Monday, I've been sleeping during the day once everyone leaves the house.

Stop listening to music to go to sleep. I used to then I stopped and I sleep better and go to sleep faster.

Usually about 2-3 minutes. If I've had sexy time, about 2-3 seconds.

I have always been a night owl ever since I was a kid, so I have always had trouble going to sleep. My mom has to take ambien so I'm expecting my sleep problems may get worse as I get older

It can be anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours depending on how tired I am and whats going on in my brain. In college, my friend gave me this hypnosis thing that I put on my ipod....its just a guy who goes through breathing exercises with you and teaches you how to fully relax your body and calm your brain for sleep.

Now, if Im having trouble, I try and do the breathing exercises and it usually helps. If not, I just play some Scrabble on my phone for a while and Ill eventually fall asleep.

A few minutes if thats what i want. I do all the reading, tv watching or whatever outside the bedroom. Peace and quiet in the bedroom. Don't go until you feel like you are ready to fall asleep.

Not long, maybe 5 minutes tops.

I'm so worn out every day that it's real easy to fall asleep. My wife complains about insomnia through the week but on the weekends when she's keeping pace with me she sleeps like a baby. Hmmmm

Just a minute or 2. And once I go to sleep there's no waking me up. My entire family sleeps like a rock.

As long as the fan in the hall is on, I fall asleep pretty fast usually... unless it's hot, then it takes longer. Can't stand a hot bedroom.

[Zcustom]

and based on what you've told us, you're bedroom is rarely "hot"

badum tssh!
