It can take me anywhere between half an hour to 3 hours. Usually, it's about an hour.

I am amazed when people tell me they can fall asleep within minutes of going to bed. REALLY? On good nights it takes me an hour. Generally it is around 2. On very bad nights I can lay there for 3 hours before falliing asleep. I am tired too, or at least my body is.

How about the rest of you guys?

I'm pretty much the same. If I'm lucky it only takes about an hour. Most of the time it takes between 1-2 hours. On bad nights it takes 3-4 hours.

I've never understood how people can fall asleep in a matter of minutes or seconds. :? I wish they could teach me how.

It takes me around 15-30 minutes usually to get to sleep, though sometimes up to an hour, rarely more. I find it fairly hard to get to sleep before 1am, however.

I go to sleep within a few minutes of going to bed, usually. My problem isn't getting to sleep, but rather, staying asleep. Once I wake up in the middle of the night, THEN I have insomnia. I also used to struggle with nighttime hunger. Not fun at all.

I go to sleep quickly, too, since I started jogging during the day. Once I lay down, I can't stay awake for long. I am usually exhausted and asleep shortly after ll:oo pm.

I've always had sleep issues. It takes me at least an hour to fall asleep even when I am exhausted. I feel better if I'm awake for around 30 hours or more then sleep for 6 or 7. I can't stand it.
