    My wife is appalled that I’m asleep the second i hit the pillow. She could be in mid conversation with me in bed then she’ll just hear snoring.

    It’s a gift and a curse.

    Depends how stressful I am. Sometimes it’s less than 5 minutes, other times I struggle to obtain the eepy stage even after 3 hours.

    Surprised I haven’t seen this response yet:

    I say awake doing things until I am on the verge of passing out from being sleepy. If that means I only get 3 hours of sleep, then so be it.

        Yuuuup. It’s happened at least once in the last month.

        Usually, though, I end up getting between 5-8 hours a night. (5hrs for the late nights, 8hrs for the next night when I’m so tired I could sleep in a warzone).

      Finally! Someone who does the same thing! People look at me like I’m crazy when I say I don’t have a sleep schedule. I let my body do the scheduling. Like you, when it comes to staying up all night, I just tell myself I’ll get some bomb ass sleep tonight. Lol

    Anywhere between an hour or never. I have a small window of opportunity to fall asleep, if I miss it or my sleep gets disturbed, I’m screwed and there’s nothing I can do. I’ll just be tossing and turning the whole night. On work days I probably get about 5 hours of sleep, that goes to maybe 6.5 hours on the weekend.

    ~1h, 30min if I’m lucky. And it have to be absolutely quiet or the timer will reset 🙃

      I’m sharing that pain with you.

      On hot summer days, like now. I can find myself up for 2-3 hours due to the discomfort.

    I don’t get in bed until I feel my sleeping pill kick in, so not long

    Usually about 20min? I set a sleep timer on podcasts for 30 min and i usually don’t hear it stop.

    When i can’t fall asleep quickly, it’s maybe an hour? Eventually sleep happens.

    before ritalin: 2 to 5 hours, or not at all

    after ritalin: 15 minutes.

    note I take the ritalin during the day, not to go to sleep
