It happens instantaneously. After some waiting.
Idk I don't tend to look at the clock when I fall asleep, but I do know that whenever I accidentally fall asleep while watching, say, a PBS spacetime video, I pass out for no less then about an hour
Also I have no clue how the other people here figure out how long it takes them to go to sleep, because as far as I know, looking at the clock just keeps you awake for longer
Like 5 min. But then I typically only try to fall asleep when I'm actually getting sleepy or when I'm edging close to some 6h of sleep until the alarm goes off, at which point I'm usually already pretty tired even though I hadn't been aware before.
5 minutes is pretty damn low: are you sleep depraved? If so, you must be exhausted at the end of the day or constantly tired throughout the day. The average and normal time (when just being tired and not exhausted at the end of the day) is about 20 minutes. You might want to checked on that and get a better sleep quality as you seem to say you have 6 hours of sleep per day, which isn't ideal but good enough.
Well I certainly don't feel tired during the day or exhausted at the end of it. I also sleep in on weekends and basically feel the same as during weekdays so I think I'm good
Well good for you if that's the case, but be careful, you're better safe than sorry. Lack of good sleep is a big problem in today's society and one of the sign can be falling asleep very fast, so considering it can have serious consequences on one's life, it's always good to keep an eye on that. Anyway, take care
thanks, I will!
Five or ten minutes; but that's called Ambien, and only if I hide my phone from myself.
As long as it takes.
Over the last few months I've worked hard on teaching myself to fall asleep. I take 5 breaths to think about how comfortable i am - or to get comfortable if I'm not. Then i focus hard on relaxing each body part for 3 breaths, beginning at my feet and pushing out any other thoughts. I rarely make it past my knees.
I turn on a YouTube video in the background and pass out before it’s even through the intro. That’s about 2 minutes generally.
10ish minutes. Less if im tired. Never if im not tired.
On a good night 30 mins but average about an hour or 2
Over time I've developed a fear of that self reflective laying in bed trying to sleep time especially as when I get into negative thinking it keeps me awake far longer, sometimes hours of ever increasing torment so I find myself unable to go to bed before I'm tired enough to fall asleep quickly - generally that involves distracting myself with social media, YouTube, video games, porn, or even work but then I'm tired the next day and spend most the day sitting around distracting myself on my phone trying to avoid that limbo of guilt and negative thinking when I'm not awake enough to be productive.
99% of the time, 5 to 10 mins and I'm out for the count. A marching band could walk through my bedroom and I wouldn't have a clue.
Usually within a couple of minutes unless something is triggering my anxiety, which hasnt happened in years thankfully. Otherwise I can pretty much turn my sleep on/off at will
Between <1-3 minutes. Occasionally I’ll feel a little restless but still manage to fall asleep in 10-15 minutes. I’m just always tired :/
