How long does it take you to get to sleep?

[OfficialJsP]

Just wondering how long it takes people to get to sleep? takes me 2 hours sometimes longer.

[Aytex]

im on my phone before i sleep so that usally takes 3-4 hours, sometimes never and i end up being awake for 24 hours

[KieranFretwell]

Well it depends on how tired i am. 

[nerdyrcdriver]

I usually get into bed around 12 or 1 and screw around on my phone for another 40 min or so. After that it usually only takes like 5 minutes to fall asleep. But for some reason down here at school I have had a lot of bad nights where it takes several hours to fall asleep no matter what I do. For a while I used z quill and it would still take a while to fall asleep, but I would be knocked out until my alarm went off. But then it just stopped working for me. Nyquil does the same thing, but I try not to use it very often so that it will keep working when I need it to. When I am at home or on vacation I have no problem falling asleep and staying asleep until the morning. I can't wait until I have my apartment next year instead of a 3 person dorm room.

30min to 45min usually i would say.

[BirdyTheMighty]

[Flight1sim]

i go to bed ~10:30-11 (on school nights) and use my phone for ~20min then fal asleep in about 10 min

[Br3tt96]

I'm usually asleep in about 10 minutes or less. I got to bed from 9-11pm and I wake up around 6am. 

[Slyhawk]

take me between an 1-2hr depends if i was watching tv or on my phone, if not like 30min-1hr.

[Eddprzz]

Yea I take like 10 mins I usually watch Asmr with iems and go to sleep pretty quick

[TheGeeker]

2-3 hours. 

[Bread In The Box]

It depends. Usually it takes me to get to sleep is about 30-40 mins but if i am energized then about 1-1.5 hours

[techswede]

If i can sleep then i'm always out like a light. 

Just *poof* "Snooooore*

[Vivilacqua1]

If I go to bed around 9-10 about 15  mins

 

Anything later than that and it feels instant.

I've lately been extremely depressed when I try to sleep... so ontop of trying to keep my mind off things with distractions, I take a couple non-habit forming sleep aides. It gets the job done, mostly, but means i'm up sometimes for a couple hours past when I should be asleep.

[Rawity]

Weekend: 2-5m (I go to bed when I'm completely tired)

School days: 20-30m

[SkilledRebuilds]

Daydreaming helps get me to sleep in 30mins or less when I'm hammered tired.

But could be an hour+ if my eyes are pingers.

[DigitalHermit]

depends...

Normally: 10-30 mins

after a pre-bedtime beer: 5 mins

when extremely fatigued: I don't even make it home... I sleep during my commute... even when standing up... only waking up to transfer vehicles...

after messing up my sleep cycle: 30 mins or more...

[Cookiemonstahr]

2 to 4 hours. Sometimes I can't sleep at all.

[PC POWER]

I think you guys sleeping issues are probably caffeine related?  Or maybe you're just getting to bed way too early.

Just wondering how long it takes people to get to sleep? takes me 2 hours sometimes longer.

I had a sleep study. Twice actually. Both concluded that I have a minor case of narcolepsy. I went into REM sleep in less than 30 minutes in all the naps, and my time to fall asleep was less than 3 minutes for most of them. Ridiculous, I say. I dream alot during sleep too.

[AlTech]

About 10-30 mins.

 

But i go to bed around 10-12pm.

 

In b4, sometimes sleeps on School bus on the way to school 

 

Sometimes on the way back from school, but only if i'm really tired.

[Ruostunut kokis]

2 - 4 hours. It depends, but I will never get sleep until it's past midnight, unless I am exceptionally tired.

 

On weekdays I go to sleep at 10.00 PM - 0.00 AM (wake-up at 6.00 AM), weekends and holidays make it 1.00 AM - 3.00 AM.

 

And no matter how much I sleep, I wake up feeling tired every morning. Also occasionally I can't seem to sleep at all (only get light sleep those nights, no deep sleep nor REM phases).

[The Knome]

There are a few things, like unfinished business, any worries are particularly bad for delaying any kind of sleep.

Then there are things that have been mentioned, like computer screens. I remember seeing a study where it disturbs circadian rythem, if I remember right it was an advisory of 2 hours without staring at such screens before going to bed. 

[GeekJump]

If I want, 5 mins tops. Even less when I put on a audio podcast to listen to (helps me empty my mind/thoughts)

 

If I'm watching something I can keep myself up for 2-4hrs even if I'm extremely tired. If you are preoccupied (especially with watching electronics) or have something on your mind it becomes realllly difficult to go to sleep or have a comfortable sleep. 

 

Use to think those 'whale sound' or 'nature call' people were weird but it def helps. I have my best sleeps while I listen to a podcast I like (RT, Nerdest, Kinda Funny, etc.)
