How long does it take you to fall asleep?
 

Generally

About 3 minutes

I read until I'm tired then fall asleep pretty quickly. I had trouble sleeping when I was hating my job. Right now I'm getting my exercise and enjoying the easy sleep of the sociopath.

Usually somewhere between vertical and horizontal, unless I land on my back. Seriously, sometimes I'll wake up at night and hadn't pulled the covers over me before I conked out.

When I was younger it might take me a couple hours. Now it takes a couple minutes. Having a regular schedule for 25 years will do that.

Just a few minutes nowadays. Unless it's an evening where I can't sleep, in which case 2-4 hours. Those happen periodically. More difficult for me though is when I wake up at 5:00 on a very regular basis and can't go back to sleep, no matter how few hours I've gotten.

Not eating within 2 hours of bed, and not looking at my phone within 30 minutes of bed both make a dramatic difference.

I'm asleep before my head hits the pillow

I hate that falling awake thing too, clod. Happens in spurts. Like 3 times last week. I'm right out within 5 minutes, but if I wake up at 5, it takes until 20 minutes from the alarm clock to get back to sleep

My whole life before anti-depressants: half hour to fall asleep

After: 5 minutes

Now 4 years off them: 5 minutes

Similar numbers on waking up. Now if I hit the snooze button, it doesn't work, I wake up anyway. Brain has been reprogrammed.

If I'm lucky, 45 minutes, even following all my sleep hygiene protocols and my sleeping pills. Otherwise, hours.

The mm can fall asleep in minutes.

That potential for reprogramming is something people don't seem to grasp fully until they've done it or seen it. Congrats on your success, it's nothing short of amazing isn't it?

It's pretty much everything, except eventually the reprogramming went too far. I only needed about half of it. But that's impossible to see until it's in retrospect

exactly this. Used to be hours every night. Just didn't bother going to bed until I was falling asleep. Only difference is my "falling awake" happens at 3am -ish. Only an hour or so before I need to get up on weekdays when I don't actually have to get up at 3am, but horrible on the weekends. This morning, I woke at 3ish and didn't get properly back to sleep until gone 7, and had to be up at around 9. oh well

....I get about 5 hours a night on average

This doesn't show how long it takes to fall asleep but it's the data I have about how well I sleep.
