    It depends. Usually I can fall asleep quite fast but that happens after I've been very slowly getting sleepier and sleepier for a couple of hours before.

    Interesting question. Before I came out, I suffered from massive insomnia. After having come out, it takes me no more than 30 minutes after my head hits the pillow; and I tend to sleep like a baby!

    It takes me absolutely ages!!!

    It's especially awful in the summer - hay fever sinks in, I wake up at about 3am with a drastically blocked nose, falls back to sleep around 5am, wakes up at 7am for school :frowning2:

    Anywhere between 1 and 4 hours - how tired I am has almost no effect on how long it takes

    One or two minutes. For me, it's very much something I just decide to do, and my body complies.

    Which makes me feel minorly guilty, knowing my boyfriend takes about an hour to fall asleep. Sometimes I wish I could extend my power to other people :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Not long. I don't fall asleep unless I absolutely have to.

    The longest I've gone might have been three days, but I wasn't in the healthiest state of mind...

    That is inversely proportional to how much bullshit I have taken that day.

    Actually, I sleep like a log. So, maybe 30 min. But if I have my phone or computer, it can take hours.

    Usually takes me 5-10 min. or less. But there have been a few occasional situations where it takes much longer, like an hour. That usually only happens when I am nervous for something the next day, or am sleeping in an unfamiliar bed.

    It depends. Anywhere from 5 minutes to 3 hours. Three hours is a little extreme but it seems like often enough I just can't shut off my brain at night :/

    wish i could shut off my brain.... pulled another involuntary all-nighter :c

    sometimes an hour or so, some nights i just spent seven - nine hours tossing and turning and dozing off the last thirty minutes before i need to get up.

    need a new brain

    I say more than an hour... Sometimes it's a little less, but there have been nights I spent 3+ hours trying to fall asleep so it averages out. I had really bad insomnia as a kid, it's gotten better, but not much.
