    Takes all night sometimes. Don't fall asleep till somewhere between 5am-8am usually. On days where I have to be up early in the morning I just count down the mins until I have to be up!

    if i'm tired i'm asleep before head hits the pillow, i have been known to pass out mid sentence when i'm drunk. i will also sleep anywhere, no matter how awkward it is.

    in saying that though the odd time it could take me hours to sleep, no matter how much "fapping" i do!

    Sorry guys but unless I just had a power nap on the couch because of Greys Anatomy, it would rarely ever take me more than 5 minutes. Usually sleep right through all sorts without waking. Drives my wife nuts as she thinks I ignore the whimpers if our child wakes up at night!

    Seems to me like there are a lot of smokers on this thread with a lot of people saying it takes them nearly and hour or 2 to get to sleep. I mean are you sleeping on jagged rocks or something?

    I don't smoke for one, just a case of not being tired, then I'm always knackered when I wake up

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    If MrThirdTesticle and MrsThirdTesticle are making love before sleep time it doesn't take long. Otherwise can take 30-90 minutes.

    If Hailey Mealy Maiden and MrsThirdTesticle are making love before sleep time it doesn't take long. Otherwise can take 30-90 minutes.

    Is that the answer to a maths problem :p

    I have no problem zonking out at night. I never have a nap during the day and I usually stay up after midnight. It rarely takes me more than half an hour to nod off.


  • Registered Users Posts: 219 ✭✭MissIT


    I think I have a bit of a sleep disorder or something. Sometimes I fall asleep even if im trying to stay awake other nights I don't sleep at all!!

    If im trying to get to sleep I always decorate a house in my head:o it does the trick sometimes.


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    anything from 2 minutes to 2 hours, nothing in particular affects it, just seems to be random


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 55 ✭✭lalalalinda


    It usually takes me at least 2 hours to get to sleep. On bad nights in can take much much more :( Thing is, once I get to sleep I'm out for the night. I could sleep for days. The only hard bit is trying to get to sleep...so don't know if that counts as insomnia!

    Coming in drunk from a night out is great though. I'm out as soon as I hit the pillow :D

    It's gonna take alot longer than normal now cause I'm reading this thread before I try sleep..


  • Registered Users Posts: 31,916 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar


    I read for about 2 hours before I turn out the light...could take me a half an hour before I'd go to sleep then.

    If I went to bed and tried to fall asleep without reading, I could be awake for 5 - 6 hours...

    I have always been good at getting to sleep very quickly.

    My wife tells me that once, when I was a bit tired, I literally lay down and as soon as I was in position horizontally, I was asleep, so I guess thats zero seconds!

    And btw I dont have narcolepsy!
