Instant. I go to sleep with the Google Books app in "night" mode... and it seems like just minutes before it's already the next morning.

Varies, I'll fall asleep quick for a month or so, then I can't fall asleep for a while... As of now, I lay in bed wide awake wishing I could sleep.

@Kelly-I also meditate, am on pain meds but my joints can't stay in one position for more than @30 when sleeping before extremely sharp pains start "shooting". Freq. dislocations don't help either. BUT-I somehow go rapidly into REM-having vivid dreams even in just 30 minutes.

I pretty much fall asleep within a few minutes and then I'm dreadfully awake off and on for the remaining time. my sleep is horrible, despite meditation, meds, sound therapy, etc.!

It always takes me at least 15 minutes to fall asleep, usually more. Especially if I have too much on my mind, then it takes about an hour or so.

->5 years ago-and still sometimes, I would toss & turn for an hour. NOW-it depends on pain level & how "sleep-deprived" I am. I'm usually SO exhausted that I'm out almost as soon as I turn over. (since I more or less "live" in bed-I can't sleep on back, only on side or belly.)

My sleeping habits are a LOT different from most "normal" folks-so this was hard to answer. Since my health got bad about 5 years ago, the most I've slept at one time-without awakening-is 4 hours. For the past month though, it's gotten worse with me catching 30-45 min whenever I can. Up until->

Every night with exceptions! I toss and turn on beds trying to sleep, and I tried sleeping on my couch, nice leather with a good feel, and I pass out almost inatantaneously, w/o a pillow too! Try this peeps! Just don't try too hard ;)

On weekends I fall asleep quickly, but on weekdays I'm still thinking about everything that has happened so it takes about 30 minutes for me to sleep.

I am always a slow zzz...... I always wait till last minute to go to bed too......

I am almost instantly asleep, but I awaken every 2 -5 minutes. on and off like a light switch all night long. It happens so regularly that I do not use an alarm. I just look at the clock a g'zillion times and get up

Try this - slow down before bed time. When you lie down do not follow or solved any thoughts that comes into your head. Thoughts are tempting, do not think about them. Do not follow the worry about falling asleep thought.
I am out in less than 5. If still awake in 20 do your thing and try again

You poor people that toss and turn. I'm out within ten minutes and don't wake up until the alarm goes off. Been that way my whole life. I love sleep and don't take my daily stresses to bed. I even love to nap on the weekends!

Usually fall asleep pretty easily as I take a sedating medication.

1/2 of a sleeping pill every night.
This is one of my favorite addictions - cuz it works.
I time my pill about 20 to 30 minutes before bed - at 10:00
Then I watch the news till the second commercial break and I am asleep by 10:15 every night.

Takes me hours to fall asleep. My husband, however, starts snoring in the middle of a sentence. Makes me wanna poke him in the eye :-p

I have a circadian rhythm disorder, and to stay on a somewhat-socially-acceptable schedule, I go to bed LONG before I'm tired and do something relaxing (e.g. read, write, knit, etc,) until I AM tired (usually b/t 1.5 and 3.5 hrs.), then I fall asleep quickly. Waking up... That's another story!!!

I rarely have trouble falling asleep. I've always needed a lot of sleep and even 8 hours at night isn't enough so I'm always sleepy enough to pass out as soon as I get in bed.

Almost always 5 minutes or less. The only exception was Christmas Eve growing up. I was always excited to see what "Santa" brought and couldn't sleep.
