How long does it take you to fall asleep?

Let's just say, I spend inordinate amounts of time just staring up at my ceiling at night.

 

For all of you people having hard time to sleep I have the solution:
1) dont fixate thinking about things that require you to logically think of solutions. what I do is either "daydream" or think about hugging my imaginary bf
2) white noise. or PINK NOISE as a better term. put this and maybe some soft song with no words in the background as well.

Thats how I became from 1-hour-to-sleep to less-than-thirty-minutes-to-sleep guy (!)

 

Depends.. I tend to go to sleep when I'm quite tired, then I usually fall asleep quickly. But sometimes, I am not really tired (or not tired at all) and it's 0:30 for instance, then I can't fall asleep easily. Takes me over an hour sometimes.

 

About ten minutes. I wake up at 5:30 or 6:00 (and 7:00 on the weekends), so by the time I go to bed at 11 or 12, I'm rather tired.

 

Or... ASMR? Like haircuts and brushing and stuff like that.＼(^▽^＠)ノ

 

I have trouble

 

about 10 mins. i get in bed exhausted lol. not even that late either.

 

Unpredictable. I have had insomnia for some years now, so I can't know if I will be asleep after thirty minutes or if I would sleep at all. But most of the time, it takes thirty minutes to 1h30, sometimes more.

 

Too long since I'm on the site

 

for me, it takes about an hour to two hours. and thats IF i listen to some relaxing piano musiic before bed.

 

It's take me a while because I'm usually not sleepy, when I am sleepy I literally just pass out immediately....
and then enter REM ridiculously fast, have a jump-scare nightmare and wake up ten minutes after falling asleep.

 

i can feel another sleepless night
i have six hours to be proven wrong. but i know how this will end.

i dont have happy fluff relaxing thoughts

i do have white noise though and it helps

i need benzos again tbh

 

Depends.

If I'm flat out exhausted, about 3-5 minutes.

If I've had an average day, about 10-15 minutes.

If I've had a rough day, I may not get to sleep; and if I do, it can take 1-2 hours.

But even with those estimates, it really depends on how I feel. If my body is not tired, then I am not going to go to sleep, at least not easily. I don't have a normal sleep clock, because it always changes for when I am tired.

If I meditate, while laying in bed, then I ,usually, fall asleep. However, it might take 30 minutes -- but, you know, better 30 minutes than 1-2 hours. The only drawback to this is, if I use meditation to sleep, then I am going to sleep harder and deeper, than usual. This means, if I am woken up before I naturally do, I am going to feel groggy and exhausted. But if I manage to sleep, it is the best sleep I can get.

 

With my insomnia? about an hour.

 

Usually less than 30 minutes. Unless there are plans for me go somewhere the next day. Then I end up thinking about every possible social interaction and their results, which means it takes much longer to fall asleep.

 

Just a few minutes especially when I'm tired.
