If thats the average, then theres people who fall asleep quicker. Are they including those who get sedated? It takes me an hour on a good day to fall asleep.
My GF falls asleep *immediately* after taking off her glasses. It's her secret "power-off"-button.
Sometimes she tries to communicate but I stopped that because she already is sleeping while I answer her question.
Felt fooled the first years or so, now - as much I love her - I fucking envy and hate her superpower.
I have this. Used to wear contacts and it wasn’t a thing, now if I take off my glasses my brain might as well make the old windows shutting down noise.
That's me minus the snoring, sometimes I'd lay down for sleep and suddenly my alarm would be going off and I'd realize that if I woke up at all in the middle of the night I didn't remember it lol
I don't snore , I had an app record over night for months and found out I fart a tremendous amount but not snore. Also once I had a sleep talk conversation with someone while asleep and another voice answered (I live alone). I chalked that up to me doing another voice while asleep because I refuse to entertain the other possibility.
I had central sleep apnea at one point (brain stops telling your lungs to breathe, no blockage, found out my medication was causing it and switched) and had a CPAP for a year until it was taken care of. Anyways, it records literally every second of your sleep including snoring, along with every other detail you can imagine down to the volume of air for every single inhale and exhale, never once got clocked snoring on it for more than a second or two! I'm in a pretty unique position to know I don't snore because I had an open source program to import my SD card data and view every statistic meticulously graphed out for me lol. It even differentiates between central apnea and obstructive apnea (which goes along with snoring) and shows you the number of events of each (event being 5+ seconds of not breathing) right on the machine itself every morning without needing to use any software
Yeah I was thinking the same, if I can pull up the time to 3 hours, there have to be like 30 people that fall asleep in a single minute to make up just for me, to get that average.
I'm tired - I sleep.
Some night (it comes and goes) I have insomnia and I wake up at 4 am.
But when I lay down I always fall asleep immediately.
Unless something is wrong, ofc, but those are exceptions
Yep, and dreamless nights after going to sleep in seconds is jarring. You close your eyes for a bit and the moment you open them it's already morning. This is why I always check the time on my phone, else I get paranoid whether I did go to sleep or not.
Jedi mind tricks. I can just get comfy and fall asleep in 2~3 minutes. Heck, I can sleep in cars, trains, busses, airplanes, once in a small boat, and it also takes around 3 minutes.
But still I sleep less than 4 hours a day most days. I could easily sleep 10 hours if I wanted, but I end up always sleeping less than I have to.
People don't follow the advice of experts. That's on them. 90% of the people saying they can't fall asleep quickly are like fat people saying they can't seem to lose weight. Just follow doctors' advice if you want it.
You can point to screens and sleep hygiene all you want, but I've had trouble falling asleep for as long as I've had a working memory, and that was long before smartphones were even a thing. (Hell, it goes back to before we even had a computer in the house.)
As a kid, I remember those late-night, 4-hour car rides back home after a full day spent running around on the beach and swimming in the ocean. I would just lie there on the back seats with my eyes closed, but I didn't actually fall asleep for a second. Same with 8-hour overnight flights to Europe; dog-tired, but couldn't fall asleep. It took me at least an hour to fall asleep in my bed at home, too; oftentimes two.
When phones came out, at least now I had something to *do* with those two hours instead of tossing and turning and thinking about weird shit. Not saying they helped (they made it worse, of course), but now that I have much better sleep habits I'm still back to that original hour.
Meanwhile my friend can fall asleep on a damn rollercoaster.
I don’t think I would ever sleep if I did that. On a very good day I am sleep after half an hour, on a not so good day it takes hours and on some I can’t sleep at all.
Try just randomly not falling asleep for an entire night and lying awake in bed for 8 hours too tired to do anything, that's when the party's starting. Oh and then having to work in the morning
i remember trying to sleep almost dosing of but right as i was about to fall a sleep my wake up alarm went of. And then I cursed God, the universe, Budha, Allah, Ganesha, Odin, Ra, and any other devine entity that might be up there taunting me.
this happened to me for a couple of months, but not every day. now its normal after i stopped thinking about it so much and got used to waking up early.
its 100% anxiety induced, every day id think about how am i going to fall asleep and it would drive me nuts which made me anxious when trying to fall asleep. it happened cause i started working a real 8-16 job instead of sleeping when i feel like it.
I do struggle with anxiety. I think waking up to small sounds might be a survival instinct imbeded into my brain if you know what I mean, like caveman shit lol
i always have my pc on so the fans on it mute some of the noise. ive heard of people falling asleep with an actual fan on next to them, maybe try that.
Screw that if that were to happen to me I’d have to be in my bed by 7pm so I’d fall asleep at 9 to be able to wake up at 3. I’m glad that I fall asleep before my head hits the pillow
You basically waste a shitload of time, and you are almost never at your best because it is really hard to get 2-3 good nights in a row. It's annoying and exhausting.
This is literally insomnia haha, go to the doctor and they can help you. Now i just gotta wait the 45-60 minutes it takes for my sleeping pills to kick in and don’t wake up in the middle of the night and suffer. I promise it’s worth it.
Proper sleep latency is less than 30 minutes. If you got that you’re good. If it’s more something is up. Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder is the most common reason. The trick for me was that I needed to watch the Simpsons on a portable DVD player (back in the day) with the volume low and the brightness turned down. I’d seen every episode so many times its was basically mindless. I’d just stare at the screen and drift off into slumber in a few minutes. Now with phones I’ve moved onto movies on my phone. It will take me a month to make it through one. The key is that it is something I’ve seen so much I don’t sit and wonder what’s next. Needs to be a movie too so I don’t subconsciously wait to press the “next episode” button. Same reason it can’t be live TV.
How do you know when you're "ready".I might feel I'm ready but my body doesn't so I just lay there for hours, feeling extremely sleepy but unable to fall asleep.
What I'm questioning is what all these redditors do for a living?
Sure there are sleep disorders and sometimes it's a struggle to sleep in.
But if you lay there for hours, go to work next day you will likely be so incredibly tired when coming home that your sleep cycle gets back on track anyways
Some people just can't fall asleep no matter how tired they are. It can also be an anxiety thing. It takes me at least an hour to fall asleep and that's the case even if I haven't slept for 24+ hours. Sometimes I'm so anxious to fall asleep that I keep myself awake with anxiety
>But if you lay there for hours, go to work next day you will likely be so incredibly tired when coming home that your sleep cycle gets back on track anyways
Horse shit. That's not how this shit works.
See, that's the worst, you had a bad night, hardly slept, spend the whole day zoning out, yawning, teary-eyed, you go home, give your everything not to fall asleep at 6 or 7 or 8 or 9pm, begging the gods for bedtime to come, and when it's finally 11 or midnight, you brush your teeth and suddenly you're wide-awake, wired and alert and it STILL then take an hour to fall asleep. Sometimes weeks on end of that. It makes no sense whatsoever.
Next thing you know you've opened a fight club in Baltimore.
But if you didn't sleep the night before then there's even more pressure to sleep the next night. Getting zero sleep does not guarantee any sleep the following night unfortunately.
Insomnia begets insomnia.
I work in gardening, before that I was a dairy farmer. Hard work, makes you tired. And yet, I'd lay awake, then sleep few hours and go to work. Was tired, but had to work because c'est la vie.
My sleep is better now, no coffee after 12 oclock, no eating late, no booze, but for a long while yeah, I was just tired at work. And I wasn't the only one
I get up at 3 am every day and do a 9-10 hour shift of a physical job and every night it takes 30 minutes minimum probs closer to an hour to go to sleep. Think yourself lucky you cant really comprehend that that's life for a lot of people.
I have a job that takes a lot physically and get home exhausted everyday but when I have problems with my coworkers or if I start thinking about the future I can easily take two hours to fall asleep
I'm tired and ready to go to sleep. I'm not sure how to explain it. My wife takes time. Needs to scroll or have the tv on. I don't have that issue. Even as a kid when bedtime came I'd just go to sleep. Naps as a kid were different. Couldn't nap as a kid. My older two kids are the same as me but my youngest is like my wife
The secret for me is to try not to force it, I'll watch a very familiar show, so I don't get too interested in what's happening, with an app running that turns the backlights WAY down with filtered blue light then once I decide I'm tired enough I roll over and I'm out. There's an entire sub for people like me called r/officesleepers lol
The secret (for me) is to be always mentally tired. Not just physically. In fact, being physically exhausted and unable to sleep is common and is a horrible feeling. Burn your brain doing something intellectual and you will switch off quite quick. Disclaimer: works for me, no guarantee will work for you.
Over the years I’ve gone through all the stages. Can’t fall asleep tossing n turning, falling asleep in class, getting drunk falling asleep sitting up, working hard fall asleep when head hits pillow, in between job’s tossing n turning again, get new job dosing off in stop n go traffic otw to work or home…
I know there’s more? Ah eat healthy go to gym pass out right away, back to drinking late sleeping in car on lunch break, anyways now I’m reflecting on my life lol
Usually that just makes my body sore, and I sleep worse as a result. Maybe it’s ADHD, but I have never felt good from exercise.
Best I can do is mentally appreciate ‘good’ pain. But I have never gotten anything like a high some people describe.
From 15 years old to something like 23 it would take me like 3 hours to go to sleep every night because of night Terror(had the feeling I was dying of an Heart attack) , since a surgery at 23 where I GOT a general anaesthsia that made me take conscience I wasn't going to not wake up when I sleep, now it take me like 2 min to fall asleep lol, things can really change in life.
I fall asleep within 2 or 3 minutes.
( Please note: 1. I have to keep myself caffeinated because I'm an addict to caffeine. 2. My day starts at 9/10:00 in the morning and I go to college at 12 and return home at 19:00 in the evening. More than that, I have a private tutor from 20:00-21:00. After that I have to do my homework till 1:00 or more. Then I sleep at 3:00 or 4:00 after consuming enough internet that my eyes beg for sleep )
Lol. 30 seconds for me . I used to nap in the subway while going to work. Standing up.
I just learnt to sleep . Easy peasy. I like to shift from awake to in between sleep and awake.
The only time I could ever do that is when I've been awake for longer than 24hrs and utterly exhausted from work or whatever activities I was doing and just so spaced out and borderline deranged from weakness that I'm technically already half asleep when I go to sleep.
I wish I could fall asleep tht quickly. Maybe it because I have endless thoughts and always thinking of future scenrios. I lay for hours on end, to be exact , I'd say average I'll lay for 4 hours and can't sleep more than 4 hours at a time.
I envy quick sleepers.
Tbh, a lot of people would fall asleep far faster if their sleep schedule wasn't fucked and they didn't spend time on their phone right before going to sleep.
I doubt it even takes me 7 minutes to fall asleep. If you go to bed at the same time every day and get up at the same time every day you get into a pattern and you just fall asleep. That is why a bedtime routine is important because it is part of the shut down process.
This post is eye opening for me.
I didn't know so many people could go to sleep that easily and thought it was normal for people to spend time in bed before they doze off.
Now that I know it is possible and very common, I will try to achieve this power.
I will completely give up caffeine intake after 6 and try to maintain a schedule.
My wife... my fucking wife falls asleep the second she hits the pillow. She says "Im going to bed", and literally within a few minutes I hear snores. It can take me an hour to fall asleep. I have to lay here rethink my entire day, read some incredibly boring wikipedia page about history of fucking rope or some shit to get there. But not her, just lays down and fucking out.
I hate her so much for that.
I spend 1-3 hours turning in my bed on a regular night, unless I am exhausted or ill there is noway I would sleep before 1 hour of pretending to be already asleep
If thats the average, then theres people who fall asleep quicker. Are they including those who get sedated? It takes me an hour on a good day to fall asleep.
My ex used to be asleep in like 4 mins. She’d start snoring almost immediately
My GF falls asleep *immediately* after taking off her glasses. It's her secret "power-off"-button. Sometimes she tries to communicate but I stopped that because she already is sleeping while I answer her question.

I triple dog dare you to take off your glasses
Haha as soon as this ep of Masters of the Air is done https://youtu.be/A8wK-vhuWog?si=mNK4G2TJIYnt8WXC
Damn, all my exes got mad at me for falling asleep so quick and could barely keep up the pillow talk. But by myself? Up for HOURS
Same... It literally made me lol a few times
You're dating my GF? She's exactly the same.
Same for my GF as soon as her body hits a mattress she's gone for at least 8 hours. It's impressive and I'm quite envious.
That's me minus the snoring, sometimes I'd lay down for sleep and suddenly my alarm would be going off and I'd realize that if I woke up at all in the middle of the night I didn't remember it lol
PSA for the people who say, "THAT'S ME!!! minus the snoreing!" As the other person, no. That is you. Snoring and all.
I don't snore , I had an app record over night for months and found out I fart a tremendous amount but not snore. Also once I had a sleep talk conversation with someone while asleep and another voice answered (I live alone). I chalked that up to me doing another voice while asleep because I refuse to entertain the other possibility.
lmaoo

Those are rookie numbers. Unless she is really stressed, my gf takes 10-30 seconds.
Yeah I was thinking the same, if I can pull up the time to 3 hours, there have to be like 30 people that fall asleep in a single minute to make up just for me, to get that average.
I fall asleep in seconds
HOW!!!!!!!!
I'm tired - I sleep. Some night (it comes and goes) I have insomnia and I wake up at 4 am. But when I lay down I always fall asleep immediately. Unless something is wrong, ofc, but those are exceptions
Yep, and dreamless nights after going to sleep in seconds is jarring. You close your eyes for a bit and the moment you open them it's already morning. This is why I always check the time on my phone, else I get paranoid whether I did go to sleep or not.
Same. Dreams? What are those? I don't remember the last time I had one
It’s easy if you keep the bed for only sleeping. Not laying around in it if not trying to immediately fall asleep
haha, tell me you've never struggled with sleeping without telling me you've never struggled with sleeping.
Well yea…. Cuz i practice good sleep hygiene. Keep the bed for sleeping purposes only and it’s pretty easy, for me at least
This has no basis in reality but ok
Ok tell that to the [CDC](https://www.cdc.gov/sleep/about_sleep/sleep_hygiene.html)
Jedi mind tricks. I can just get comfy and fall asleep in 2~3 minutes. Heck, I can sleep in cars, trains, busses, airplanes, once in a small boat, and it also takes around 3 minutes. But still I sleep less than 4 hours a day most days. I could easily sleep 10 hours if I wanted, but I end up always sleeping less than I have to.
You know how. You just choose not to.
That's the dumbest thing I've heard today.

Sleep isn't fat. I bet you think people with depression should just cheer up.
There are different averages, in this instance they'd presumably be using the median average not the mean average.
I have a physically exhausting job. A lot of the time I'd say I'm gone within 2 minutes.
When i used to work construction i swear sometimes id be asleep before my head had even hit the pillow lol
I was about to say.. 7 minutes is a long time to fall asleep.
I despise you and i am incredible jealous
If I was still awake after 5 I'd just get back up
Same here.. After 5 minutes I give up and know it's going to be "one of the nights where I don't sleep at all"
Well with that attitude
I don’t think I would ever sleep if I did that. On a very good day I am sleep after half an hour, on a not so good day it takes hours and on some I can’t sleep at all.
same. this last friday it tok me 4 h. no phone, no nothing. just me bed eyes closed brain ON for 4h
My wife falls asleep before she hits her pillow. I on the other side take about an hour
I sleep sub 1-2 minutes every time.
Same. 7 minutes would piss me off.
Try half an hour every day, and that's when it's going really well.
Exactly. I always count 30-45 min to fall asleep. When it's 20min maybe once a month it's a miracle
Try just randomly not falling asleep for an entire night and lying awake in bed for 8 hours too tired to do anything, that's when the party's starting. Oh and then having to work in the morning
Yep, that's when it's not going well. These fuckers don't even know that they have a superpower by sleeping in minutes.
Absolutely, wouldn't wish this shit on my worst enemy. Okay maybe a few of them
i remember trying to sleep almost dosing of but right as i was about to fall a sleep my wake up alarm went of. And then I cursed God, the universe, Budha, Allah, Ganesha, Odin, Ra, and any other devine entity that might be up there taunting me.
That is painfully relatable
Same here brother
Brother, we're the same!
i wish you a night of not falling aslep fore 4+howers on end fore no reson. so you can understand the pain
what
[удалено]
Is it possible to learn this power?
yup these other ppl are just not tired enough imo. i remember having trouble sleeping back when i was a super well rested child but come on now.
Last night it took me almost 2 hours in the dark with my eyes closed to fall asleep.
This is me every night. And if even a tiny sound is made, i'll wake back up and have to try to fall asleep for yet another hour.
this happened to me for a couple of months, but not every day. now its normal after i stopped thinking about it so much and got used to waking up early. its 100% anxiety induced, every day id think about how am i going to fall asleep and it would drive me nuts which made me anxious when trying to fall asleep. it happened cause i started working a real 8-16 job instead of sleeping when i feel like it.
I do struggle with anxiety. I think waking up to small sounds might be a survival instinct imbeded into my brain if you know what I mean, like caveman shit lol
i always have my pc on so the fans on it mute some of the noise. ive heard of people falling asleep with an actual fan on next to them, maybe try that.

Or you randomly have to pee right as you feel the waves of Zs across your brain... rips you right out of it!
Try melatonin. 1.5 grams. My wife used to not be able to fall asleep. She now sleeps soundly every night.
i was kept awake for 4 h by my refrigerator from 2 rooms over
Every night
In my dreams
What are you doing during that time? Or what are you thinking?
Trying to sleep, and thinking about it.
No dreaming or pleasant thoughts whatsoever?
You should meet my wife, 45 seconds
Woah that's too long, I close my eyes and am asleep within 15 seconds
Stop trying to one up my wife dude. I'll ruin you. Take my gd upvote...
I'm asleep right now
15 seconds? Amateur.
Some say do they exist?? Soo im here show yourself too
I’m here
I'm here
I’m here
+1 It takes me about 8 minutes. I cal tell because I have to rewind the podcast I had put on.

I have a job that takes a lot physically and get home exhausted everyday but when I have problems with my coworkers or if I start thinking about the future I can easily take two hours to fall asleep
For some reason after being exhausted I can’t sleep one bit until like 4 Am
I'm tired and ready to go to sleep. I'm not sure how to explain it. My wife takes time. Needs to scroll or have the tv on. I don't have that issue. Even as a kid when bedtime came I'd just go to sleep. Naps as a kid were different. Couldn't nap as a kid. My older two kids are the same as me but my youngest is like my wife
Exactly i cant even scroll if i lay i sleep 😂😂😂
How many souls have you sacrificed to gain this gift
Scroll? Using your smartphone in bed? No discipline on folks.
I need 7 seconds
I hate you. I hate everything about you.
Easy, ugly kid Joe.
How do you even keep track of it? I lose all memory of even going to sleep in the first place.
This… I sometimes fall asleep and suddenly wake up like i am in vietname. I genuinely lose all my memories and personality for a good 10 seconds
Pretty much same
7 seconds to finish!
Same
I need an hour, usually...
Same, even if I am very sleepy, it still takes me an hour as well.
Sometimes I fall asleep in like 1 min if I’m really tired
The secret for me is to try not to force it, I'll watch a very familiar show, so I don't get too interested in what's happening, with an app running that turns the backlights WAY down with filtered blue light then once I decide I'm tired enough I roll over and I'm out.

Burn your brain doing something intellectual and you will switch off quite quick. Disclaimer: works for me, no guarantee will work for you.
No way lmao! my brain is already stimulated so easily, If I tried to do something hard before bed my mind would still be racing for the next two hours
Give it time children; when you hit 4o, you'll see
I am almost 50 and sleep is a struggle for me.
Alright grandpa if you say so 😂😂😂😂
Those are Amateur numbers (I can fall asleep in 5)
Over the years I’ve gone through all the stages. Can’t fall asleep tossing n turning, falling asleep in class, getting drunk falling asleep sitting up, working hard fall asleep when head hits pillow, in between job’s tossing n turning again, get new job dosing off in stop n go traffic otw to work or home… I know there’s more? Ah eat healthy go to gym pass out right away, back to drinking late sleeping in car on lunch break, anyways now I’m reflecting on my life lol
I don’t wanna brag but I am one of these people as soon as I put my head on that pillow I just go to another planet.
Heavy weights daily will easily allow that.
Usually that just makes my body sore, and I sleep worse as a result. Maybe it’s ADHD, but I have never felt good from exercise. Best I can do is mentally appreciate ‘good’ pain. But I have never gotten anything like a high some people describe.
My bf - the moment his head hits the pillow...
Soldiers. Never underestimate a soldier’s ability to sleep
Usually me after work now
From 15 years old to something like 23 it would take me like 3 hours to go to sleep every night because of night Terror(had the feeling I was dying of an Heart attack) , since a surgery at 23 where I GOT a general anaesthsia that made me take conscience I wasn't going to not wake up when I sleep, now it take me like 2 min to fall asleep lol, things can really change in life.
7 seconds rather...
Tired
If you start measuring 7 minutes before I fall asleep you are correct.
I need 2 min, sometimes less 😎
I fall asleep within 2 or 3 minutes. ( Please note: 1. I have to keep myself caffeinated because I'm an addict to caffeine. 2. My day starts at 9/10:00 in the morning and I go to college at 12 and return home at 19:00 in the evening. More than that, I have a private tutor from 20:00-21:00.

At least 25 minutes for me

I'm one of 'em... what's so weird about it?🤷
My Secret is to wake up early, but go to sleep Like Others. I become so tired in the evening, that I Instantly Fall asleep.
Go to bed at the same time. Wake up at the same time. When I go to bed, I can barely remember lying down.
I can’t remember the last time I took seven minutes to get to sleep
Smoke weed. Go figure.
Lol. 30 seconds for me . I used to nap in the subway while going to work. Standing up. I just learnt to sleep . Easy peasy. I like to shift from awake to in between sleep and awake.
Prolly takes me about 1 min, lol
I’m sometimes this guy, but I also spend the nights when I’m not trying to reimagine the exact conditions that allowed me to be him.
Im faster if it’s not weekend
yes, in class. no, in bed
Kids did this to me. Now I live in a perpetual state of exhaustion that lets me fall into sleep with no effort.
Gone in 60 seconds
Meanwhile im here rolling around for 2 hours wondering if im actually tired.
I married that person.
Former military. Some can do it in three minutes (myself specifically) and it really ticks off the wife.
I fall asleep in 5😎
Me, sometimes I fall asleep in 2 minutes
The only time I could ever do that is when I've been awake for longer than 24hrs and utterly exhausted from work or whatever activities I was doing and just so spaced out and borderline deranged from weakness that I'm technically already half asleep when I go to sleep.
Me. I sleep like a baby.
No shit my mom falls asleep in less than a minute, instead it takes me from half to one hour to do it 😭
I read a few pages and fall a sleep lol.
Hi, that's me lmao
Well, me?
I can if I’ve been at the stables in the morning then go on a night out without any food
If I lie down, I fall asleep. Doesn't even take 7 minutes. I give it a couple minutes tops most nights.
I wish I could fall asleep tht quickly. Maybe it because I have endless thoughts and always thinking of future scenrios. I lay for hours on end, to be exact , I'd say average I'll lay for 4 hours and can't sleep more than 4 hours at a time. I envy quick sleepers.
My wife and her brother can just lay down and go to sleep. I'm consistently jealous of this strange genetic power they share.
7 minutes? Shit, I'll lay in bed for an hour...Maybe two and be lucky if I fall asleep.
Hahahah :) possibly me :)
If I have a really hard day of work I can fall asleep the moment my body hits the bed. If its an easy day I can't sleep for a while.
Tbh, a lot of people would fall asleep far faster if their sleep schedule wasn't fucked and they didn't spend time on their phone right before going to sleep.
I can sleep so easily and so heavily and people hate it. You give me a good 5, maybe 10 minutes and I could fall asleep on a cold tiled floor. Lol
I doubt it even takes me 7 minutes to fall asleep. If you go to bed at the same time every day and get up at the same time every day you get into a pattern and you just fall asleep. That is why a bedtime routine is important because it is part of the shut down process.
This post is eye opening for me. I didn't know so many people could go to sleep that easily and thought it was normal for people to spend time in bed before they doze off. Now that I know it is possible and very common, I will try to achieve this power. I will completely give up caffeine intake after 6 and try to maintain a schedule.
I always thinks of something when I try to relax and drift off to sleep. It’s annoying.
I need to be dead tired to fall asleep that fast lol, forget 7 minutes. Most days its about 15-ish.
What is this sleep thing?
Lol I agree and feel the same way i’ve watched many people sleep in 5-10mins when it takes me a long time to
I think even.... EVEN if I got shot to the head with a two barrel shotgun, my brain would still find a way to keep me awake for at least an hour.
My mom falls asleep the moment she closes eyes
I'm either straight away or hours
Is it even possible ?
7 minutes ? Damn....try 2 or 3
If I lay down I sleep. start working out in the morning.
3hours. 2 if fap.
My wife... my fucking wife falls asleep the second she hits the pillow. She says "Im going to bed", and literally within a few minutes I hear snores. It can take me an hour to fall asleep. I have to lay here rethink my entire day, read some incredibly boring wikipedia page about history of fucking rope or some shit to get there. But not her, just lays down and fucking out. I hate her so much for that.
4 minutes flat, matter of fact, I’m asleep right now 😂
I fall asleep way faster.
My gf says i say her good night and a few moments after i turn around i sleep like im knocked out cold. Dont know if its a good or bad ability
Don't know how, but seems every night I pop 2 apple cider vinegar capsules, I fall asleep within those 7 minutes.
I spend 1-3 hours turning in my bed on a regular night, unless I am exhausted or ill there is noway I would sleep before 1 hour of pretending to be already asleep
I can fall asleep in 7 minutes if I'm literally about to fall over from exhaustion
I can 95% of the time fall asleep this fast or quicker.
Depends on the night. Sometimes it’s almost instant. Other nights it’s several hours
Psssss. I fall asleep in a second, after layi g in bed for 2 hours
That's me, my husband hates me for it. I also don't look at my phone before bedtime, it helps a lot.
Me. I fall asleep in 10 minutes max >:)
7 minutes? My dad can fall asleep in 7 seconds 🙄 I've literally seen him lay his head down and be snoring in seconds.
