How long does it usually take you to get to sleep when you go to bed?

19.4 minutes

lol did you have someone time you?

It varies.

Well, I usually read until I'm falling asleep, so then it only takes me about a minute to actually get to sleep after I turn out the light. But I usually read for 15-30 minutes or so, so that's what I picked.

about 15 minutes.

About 30 seconds, if I laid down right now, mid day at work it would probably take me 30 seconds as well.

It really depends on how much my allergies are bothering me (I have them year-round).

not long

It really depends on what's happening in my life at the time.

15-30 minutes unless I get talking with my hubbie.

It varies I usually go to my room before I am ready to sleep, so I can read, watch television, or listen to music.

About two seconds.

Last night it took me about 5 hrs.

15 minutes or less.

It varies. If I'm coming home late night from somewhere, than zero because I just lay on the bad and fall asleep.

I used to toss and turn for at least a couple hours every night before falling asleep, but I'm happy to say that over the past few years I've had less and less trouble. I think it's mainly because I have fewer worries in my life than I used to, and it helped even more when I kicked the caffeine habit. Nowadays I usually fall asleep within 5 minutes of turning off the light.

Oh my...bad night? Are you okay?

Kind of a bad night yeah, I kept hearing things and looking out the window... but I'm better now

You weren't reading Stephen King's Salem's Lot were you? I remember reading that as a teenager and hearing all kinds of noises outside my bedroom window. It was terrifying, but I loved it!

Nah, I wish it was that hehe

As soon as my head hits the pillow I'm down for the count.

My SO reads aloud to me at night...I fall asleep in two seconds to the sound of her sweeet loving voice.

From now on if you have trouble falling asleep just close your eyes and picture soap on a rope...I promise you'll be dreaming away about the YMCA in no time
*growls*

lol I should have pictured that! Hmmmm but that might not put me to sleep though!

That's gotta be a record.

I'll look it up.

hehehehe
Would it have kept you up?

I think.... hard to tell though! Actually I'd guess that, unless I am stressed out, it is less than about three minutes!

5 minutes or less

probably all night!

WOW! My kind of man!!!!!

i need help. i think i have a sleep disorder. damn

Don't read Stephen King's Dreamcatchers before going to bed, it's far creepier than Salem's Lot.

15 minutes or less i think, at most 15-30 minutes if i am at home in bed. i do call at work-in a call room on the premises and then i have a lot more trouble falling to sleep.

I have a lot of problems falling asleep recently I don't know why I toss and turn for an hour or two.

yuck, i hate when i hear things outside that keep me up!!!

I smoke a big Joint before I go to bed.. and all my insomnia is cured...

Me too, thats why I was happy to be back home to following night!

Oh, thanks for the warning! That's on my "books to read soon" list. Somewhere along the line I stopped reading Stephen King, so I have a bunch to catch up on.

Just don't read it in the bathroom or while you're eating.

Well, the bathroom part makes me kind of nervous (I hate it when things come up out of the toilet!) but if it'll make me not want to eat, that might be good. I could use a good diet book!

It's just that there is a problem with crap-weasels in the book. >

Oh no! That sounds like a bad problem!

Only for those in the book.

When I shut my eyes I instantly fall asleep, but I'm also an extremely light sleeper.

Probably about 15 minutes.

Sometimes Ican sleep other times I can't.

My brother is the KING of snoring!!! (you wouldn't beleive the monumental noise!)

Whoa!!!!

weasels ate my crap?

No, they eat their way out of your body using a southerly route. >

if drinking all night can be considered a sleeping disorder then thats what i have. Sooooo drunk

Depends whether my wife has a headache or not.

I thought you were single for some reason.

COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

I never can go to sleep right when I got to bed because I get restless and listen to the radio.

I usually have trouble sleeping, but after doing a nights work at the club I'm so exhausted I can fall asleep within minutes.

Single? lol lol lol. I am very very married and very very into being a daddy. Same wife of 14 years with three small boys each of which qualifies for the world's most beautiful child.

Need I say more?

You sound very proud. I feel the same about my kids. I was married for 14 years but my ex turned into a crazy physco dog. I have a girl who is 14 (going on 21) and a 10 year old boy. ASB and I do plan on having at least 1 child. This one will take some planning and money to get done. There must be 2 Brians on here. I thought you were only 21.

I believe there is a "Brian W" and me "Brian". Guess I should change my name to "Hey you!"

That would certainly get everyones attention.

I've been called worse!

I do have a sleeping disorder. I will sleep for about 45 minutes & wake up for 2 hours if I am not on medication. Just now I am on medication because I hate the way it makes me feel. Maybe someday they will come up with a medication that does not make you feel you are in a twilight zone. I have had this problem most of my adult life.

I sleep deep restful sleep.BUT I snore!

my brain works too much......and does not like to sleep......

30-45

Evil never sleeps.

It varies greatly. Like last night, I didn't sleep a wink because I went NUTS with the coffee and soda.

Caffene is like crack to me. I even get the "highs" and "lows." I just laid in bed, tossing and turning, feeling like a loser piece of crap. Then, of course, as soon as I fell asleep at 9:30 in the morning, the bell rings and it's FedEx. I decided to make some coffee and get on the computer...

It's vicious cycle.

i suffer from a sleep disorder usally about 3 hours

If I've worked out that day, about three seconds. I'm one of those people who push their bodies so much that they go at it until they literally can't stand up. On the other hand, when I haven't, it takes me hours. Sometimes I get up, turn on the light, look at myself in the mirror and sing Radiohead songs. Oh, me.

I always have something to think about before I sleep... Makes me more tired.. aww... sleep... beautiful sleep... how wonderful it is... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......
