    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).

    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.

    Ages 0-38: one hour to 3 days, sleep 1-4hrs/session.

    Ages 39+: 5-10 minutes. Sleep 7hrs/session.

    I’m so tired all the time now.

    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.

    Some nights 15 minutes and annoyingly frequently 1-3 hours. It used to really worry me, but I’ve learned to make peace with it.

    Too long. I just can’t not process things that happened, interactions with people, all that stuff. I’m not sure I even want to just drop when I finally have the time to thinks stuff before sleep.

    An hour maybe to get some light sleep, and I can’t get to deep sleep until 5 AM easily.

    I remember a few years ago that suddenly this topic came up with friends, and turns out almost everyone sleeps nicely after 1-5 minutes in bed.

    And I thought my case was normal (it’s been like this since I was a kid). But I’ve been probably losing years of life without a way to gain them back. Depressing.

      The time it takes to fall asleep is called sleep latency, and mine is also around an hour so you’re not alone. In my case I blame a combination of ADHD and Aspergers, which means that my brain literally always wants to think about interesting stuff rather than quiet down. For about 10 years now I’ve been using ASMR videos as a sleep aid and it helps immensely. I use the ones with people talking and it totally occupies the speech centre of my brain, cutting off my brains ability to keep thinking about whatever interesting thing it wants to think about (it’s hard to think complex thoughts while also trying to absorb what someone is saying)

    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
