How long does it takes you to fell asleep?

Hi simonelee! Most of the time, I find it so hard to sleep coz I have this insomnia thing, that is why my eyebags are not getting any better, LOL. However, my insomnia is more of like psychological coz I have lots of things in my head which just come out during night time when it's peaceful and quiet. So what I just do is meditate a little and focus on clearing my head so that I can sleep. In your case though, it's pretty normal to not sleep immediately when you hit the sack hours earlier than your normal sleeping time because of your body clock. That happens to me too :) It actually just takes maybe two or three days before your body gets used to your new sleeping schedule. You can also follow my technique of meditating before sleeping if you still can't fall asleep easily :)

I always have a problem falling asleep! It seems to take me a long time to anyways. Unless I am really really tired. It could take me up to an hour to fall asleep. My mind never wants to stop running when I go to lay down. But, some nights I can fall right to sleep and others I have a hard time sleeping.

Usually, I fall right to sleep. I do not lay down until I feel tired enough. I sleep about 6 hours a night.

It depends on how tired I am. It can take hours if I am having trouble winding down or a matter of minutes when I am exhausted.

Hi Simonelee.. I sleep very late around 2:30 or 3:30am. i get to bed around 11:30pm or 12:00am. It takes 2 or 2:30 hrs to get me to sleep...I listen to soft music, so that i coud get to sleep early. If my day gets harder physically then i sleep very soon within half an hour..but mostly i take lots of time to get to sleep. Take Care

It depends, usally I go to bed before 1am, and wake up 7:30am. I like to work at night, so I always sleep lately. I usally would fall asleep with 20min if I have the music around, it's important for me, otherwise it will take a long time to fall sleep. Remember that was my college, I get the depression said my doctor, I can't sleep almost evernight, it's so painful, But now I fell much better. So I think a good sleep states is a very very happy thing in our life.

it usually takes me some time before i fall asleep. i just don't sleep well at all.

Hi simonelee! It depends. There are times when I sleep the moment my back touches the bed. Yeah, not much effort. There are also times when it would take me just few minutes. There are times when I probably have finished 3 or 4 shows on TV before I doze off.

Good day to you too simonelee! Me, I am working in a night shift and I usually get time to sleep in day time but since my shift timing is like 13 hours in a day, so it hardly takes 15-20 minutes for me to fell asleep. If I am asleep then it is difficult for anyone to wake me up!

hello simonelee! well, it depends, sometimes there are nights that i find it hard to sleep, specially when i have some problems...hehe but it also happens that even i am not thinking anything, i just can't sleep...and i hate those moments! but what i am doing now is that, i just go to bed when i feel really sleep! haha that way, i don't find any problem in sleeping...the moment i lay my back on my bed, it will just take me a few minutes and the next thing i know is that its already morning!

It use to be very easy for me to fall asleep. I would fall asleep within minutes. Now adays I find it quite difficult to sleep because I tend to have alot of things on my mind and I can't shut it off. Two weeks ago I went to bed about 2 in the morning but was still up at 7:30am. It was ridiulous. I ended up falling asleep before 8am and didn't get up till almost 1pm.

when i have a nap at noon, now i can fall asleep as soon as i lie on the bed. but in the evening, i have a habit to think sth before sleeping. so it takes me some time. not sure how much it takes, it depends on my situation in the daytime. if tired, then shorter. if free, then maybe longer. but if too long, then i'll have a headache, and then hard to fall asleep that night.

about 10mins? just do something that can make you sleepy like reading academic magzine,~lol

If I was tired, then there would be no problem for me to feel asleep or get sleep. Since I was tired almost everyday due my activities within the day, so I rarely got some sleeping problem..

Wow you got 9 pages of responses for this discussion. That is amazing! I have never gotten that many responses on any of my discussions and I've been on mylot for at least 2 years. I have a hard time falling asleep a lot of the times. If I have something on my mind then it makes it very hard for me to fall asleep as I just lay there thinking. Then once I fall asleep if I am woken up in the middle of my sleep its sooo hard to get back to sleep. Then of course I wake up tired and grouchy in the morning.

I usually sleep late at night. In most cases, I sleep the earliest at 11 in the evening but usually I sleep at around 12 midnight. In such case, I can sleep easily. If I sleep lie down a little bit earlier, It is quite difficult for me to sleep. That is why, I wait until I am sleep already. I also do not take any nap in the afternoon. If I do, I really have difficulty sleeping at night.

I didn't get to sleep at all last night. I actually stayed up all night building websites. When I didn't get to sleep for a couple of hours it was at 2pm. I'm still tire. Usually I can get to sleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Hi simonelee Well, I think it depends on my tired-level. If I feel tired and have done sooo many task before, go home late at night, etc, it only takes me seconds to arrived in my dreamland,,hehehe But if I don't really tired or have taken a nap for 3 hours or more, I will find difficulties in sleep, same with you, it takes me around 4 until 5 hours to feel sleepy. If that's the case, I think it is a waste of time if you insist yourself to sleep. I prefer online and read newspaper or do other task, typing something, do activities that makes you tired! hmm,, a glass of milk can really help. Have you ever tried it? Do some activities and drink a glass of milk when you can't sleep?

Hello. When i am tired i feel asleep very quik but if i dont do anuthing in this day i can wait for feel asleep very long even 4 hour I alway then watching a movie and it helps me do asleep

may sleeping time is 12 midnight to 7am. I don't have problem sleeping. Maybe you're just stress. Stress is a big factor why many people can't sleep. May advice is go to sleep regularly. Sooner or later your body will react. And even if you don't want to sleep you will feel sleepy. Second remove things that make you stress on your own home. For example I love plants. One time I bring plan to my room. And when its time for me to sleep I can't sleep. What I do is that I put that plant outside my room..Then after five minutes I'm in a dream land..lolz Also if you're stress try not to think about it..problems are meant to be solve, but if you can't solve it then don't think about it..Solution will come if its come.. Pray..If you can't sleep pray.. Its help you to relax. And also try to think happy thoughts and memories. Don't...take sleeping pills..its a big no no no..its a temporary solution but later it can be an addictive substance ..so don't happy sleeping
