How long does it take you to fall asleep once you start trying?

The answers (in order recieved):

  • It depends on how tired I am. Usually it's maybe.. 10 minutes.

  • I couldn't tell you, mangs! I would be able to say what time I start trying, sure, but I have no CLUE what time it is when I fall asleep. If I could tell what time it was, I wouldn't be asleep, see? I've been falling asleep pretty fast lately.

  • the length of my soul...

  • By the time I actually get some sense in my head and go to bed, I've generally stayed up so late that I'm tired enough that it only takes a few minutes to fall asleep. Often, though, it takes up to an hour, maybe 'cause I'm too busy thinking to remember to fall asleep. :)

  • not long... minutes. I don't go to bed normally until I'm ready to drop.

  • If I am REALLY tired, not having gotten sleep, for say 24 or 36 hours, then I usually tend to fall asleep in one or two minutes, and I wake up 14 hours later in a pile of sweat, assorted body parts and organs that aren't mine, spent ammunition, and automatic weaponry.

  • Usually right away, but under certain circumstances, it will take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour.

  • under normal circumstances, usually less than 10 minutes. i even fall asleep pretty quickly when i'm not trying. 8^)

  • 15 minutes

  • Anywhere from 1/2hr to three hours, although I haven't had insomnia for a while. So about half an hour.Anna says it's the same for her.

  • I dont "try" to fall asleep. I let my body do the work

  • About a half an hour

  • That depends on who I am sleeping with.

  • It really all depends on how tired I am, so I could fall asleep as soon as my face hits the pillow, to being awake for an hour or two before finally achieving unconsciousness.

  • Depends, of course, but on average, about 30 minutes to an hour. I sleep rather lightly, and when I'm actively trying to fall asleep rather than just lying down and waiting for sleep, it takes longer; probably an hour or longer.

    My answer:

    About an hour or so. It depends on whether I can avoid thinking about certain things or not.
