how long does it take u to fall asleep????

[Dinosaur]

hey everybody,

i want to see how long does it take you to fall asleep while you are laying in your bed? do you take any sleeping pills. if so, how long have you been taking them for? does it help you sleep like a baby?
last one i promise, what do u do to make ur self fall asleep, attention no smart answers. lol


i will start first. it usually takes me about 15 min to 20 min average, if iam stressed out then definatly another half hour so total of 45 minutes.

fortunatly, i don't take any sleeping pills

[T_Own]

no sleep aids, depends on how tired i am physically. if i am really tired, not long at all. if i just think i need to sleep than about 30 min... just laying there moving around every so often.

i only take sleep aids if i have a bad headache, then it takes a while for it to work, but when i get into bed, not long.

[drummerofgod87]

It takes me forever to fall asleep. If I'm stressed, 2 - 6 hours. Yes, you read that right.

[Voland]

I'm insomniac. I pretend i sleep. Rarely do.

[Scott78]

I find it hard to fall asleep at night, usually my routine was after zma's taken go watch some tv for 45 mins then bed, but was taken me ages to nod off.

Now take zma's go into room and into bed watch tv for about hour with lights off, get to sleep a little quicker now

To be honest, probably less than two minutes once my head hits the pillow. My girlfriend hates it cause it takes her like a half hour. She says sometimes we will be laying there in the middle of a conversation and she will be talking about something, then all of a sudden she hears me snoring, lol.

[Dukkit]

bout 5 mins from the time i want to go to bed. till the time i fall asleep

no sleeping pills (just loads of sex)

and i get 8-9 hours of sleep a night

[VeraDeMilo]

I should also note that this is more of a problem than a gift. I start to knod off while I'm driving late at night. I have also fallen asleep and driven 50mph straight into a tree

[Bossman]

Im a light sleeper and normally take 30+ minutes to get to sleep. When on AAS it varies, but usually much worse. Tried OTC sleep remedies and they sometimes make me drowsy, but they can often wire me too making sleep more difficult. Tried ambien but I dont think it worked any better then benedryl for me.

I just deal the best I can. Living life as a zombie.

[Matt]

Not when im around

Arrr, i might see the ghosts if you took that gimp mask off me, whens it your turn to wear it??

[*RAGE*]

takes me forever as well unless I self medicate...

[Deltasaurus]

I sleep like shit alot of the time, take hours to fall asleep then when i wake up i dont know if i even slept its just like i cant destinguish reality from my sub-conscious its realyl weird. I just wish i slept like a rock, i always have so much on my mind its very difficult to fall asleep

[higherdesire]

I lay down and fall asleep within 5 minutes without fail. THe problem is staying asleep. I often wake up wide awake every hour on the hour and sometimes can't go back to sleep, so i take trazadone when on one of those cycles where I get three or four hours at night and it helps me to get a full 6-7.

[novastepp]

I was born in a mental institution, and i sleep only one hour a night... or i stay up and make soap.

btw, i need some more soap. only got a few bars left

[Gaspari1255]

I fall asleep easy but then I'm up in the middle of the night taking that Caesin piss at like 3 am, pain in the balls.

[MMArmour]

honestly..i usually get laid or jerk off right before and about 5 mins later...lights the **** out. Stay asleep till morning.

[swol_je]

Takes me atleast 1 hour to fall asleep, no matter how tired I am I just cant sleep. I havent slept a whole night through in probably 2-3 years. I'll have to get up and piss atleast twice a night. I even spent a grand on a new bed and still cant sleep.

[Sir Lifts-a-lot]

I go to sleep when I'm tired. Unfortuantely I only get about five to six hours a night which sucks.

[Bojangles69]

If you're not sleeping at night its for one reason,

You don't do shit during the day. Theres not one person on here whos gonna go work an 8 hour day, come home, than say they're laying in bed for an hour or 2 before they fall asleep.
If you ARE all that means is you most likely sit in a cubicle or in front of a computer all day and don't really move around a lot.
Working out for 2 hours isn't gonna make you fall asleep at night.
Sleep is for recovery, and if you're having problems sleeping your bodys telling you I need to do more physical labor during the day.
I wake up at 6:30, work out, than work 8 hours (well not now cause I'm laid off) but I was always moving so when I came home I was ready to pass out at 9pm.

Now because I'm NOT working (I'm being productive but I'm not racing back and forth all day like at my job) I KNOW I'll have trouble sleeping. So what I do is split my cardio into 2 - 1/2 hour sessions instead of one.
I still know that won't make it easy to sleep so I try to find something that will tire me out, ANYTHING.
Sitting at a desk won't. Anything with a computer won't make you tired. It'll make your mind fuzzy but your body will be wide awake still. The key is to ignore your mind and work on making your body tired.
A lot of insomniacs are people who just don't tire out their bodies.

If you exhaust yourself during the day, you'll fall asleep quick, get more sleep, feel better in the morning (forcing cells to do whatever they do at night). I use to have this issue too sleeping till I realized my only real physical labor was at the gym for 2 hours.

I didn't switch my job because of it but when I got a new job (at a restaraunt) I started sleeping like a baby at night, and feeling better the following day.

you are similar to my case. i sometimes get headaches maybe from stress or long days but i manage them by taking some tranquilizers or sleeping aides it knocks down hard.

i don't agree with that.. during the fall, i would have 3 hours of soccer a day, plus classes, and i would be up so late because i can't sleep. and now i'll work 7-8-9 hours in a row (stupid job but still always moving around, carrying stuff, cleaning stuff, etc) and can't sleep at all after that either.

idk what it is because for my whole life i could go to sleep whenever at night (no naps) and sleep very long lol...

[T-MOS]
