Scudamore Posted 16 January, 2009 Posted 16 January, 2009 I don't really care...was just a question on the radio... What's amount of time on average does it takes an adult to fall asleep? I may take a mean average of your results and enter the competition...
bridge too far Posted 16 January, 2009 Posted 16 January, 2009 I don't know because I don't know what time I fall asleep because I'm asleep.
Master Bates Posted 16 January, 2009 Posted 16 January, 2009 7mins is the answer Although for me a bit longer.

saint_stevo Posted 16 January, 2009 Posted 16 January, 2009 depends who else is in my bed, or who's bed i am in
scott_saints Posted 16 January, 2009 Posted 16 January, 2009 Usually around 5-10 mins. On a bad night between 1 hour- 2 hours On a bad night but but cheating with sedatives- about 15 mins. When drunk- About 1 minute.
Deppo Posted 16 January, 2009 Posted 16 January, 2009 Same as Hatch, skag or no skag. We're obviously very stressed people.
Pip87 Posted 16 January, 2009 Posted 16 January, 2009 depends who else is in my bed, or who's bed i am in Me too. It takes me a little longer to get to sleep when i'm not on my own. Also takes longer when i'm not in my own bed. It used to take ages, but since i've moved it's been a lot faster for some reason. Recently i would guess at about 5-10mins when i'm at home on my own.
Scudamore Posted 16 January, 2009 Author Posted 16 January, 2009 Me too. It takes me a little longer to get to sleep when i'm not on my own. Also takes longer when i'm not in my own bed.

So in short...are you sleeping around more or less now?
bridge too far Posted 16 January, 2009 Posted 16 January, 2009 FFS how do you KNOW how long it takes? You do know when you're still awake - I'll give you that - but you can't possibly know exactly when you went to sleep

SNSUN Posted 16 January, 2009 Posted 16 January, 2009 Depends how ****ged out I am. If I struggle to sleep, I generally read a paper or watch the news, as it fills my head with images which I can then dream about, an thus fall asleep more easily. For some reason I slept very well yesterday because of the plane crash in New York.
Michelle Posted 16 January, 2009 Posted 16 January, 2009 Bloody ages, and that's with the medication. Without it I don't think I'd actually ever sleep.
saint_stevo Posted 16 January, 2009 Posted 16 January, 2009 takes me longer to get my dodgy knee comfy these days, Granty's fault and another aspect of my life he has ruined
TopGun Posted 16 January, 2009 Posted 16 January, 2009 (edited) I don't know because I don't know what time I fall asleep because I'm asleep. This is me too. So I guess it must be fast. Maybe 2-3 minutes from deliberate shut-eye? I think my brain shuts down instantly if nothing to think about too much. It's far worse when I go to bed really late (maybe a bit ****ed) but know I have to be up again in a few hours on a school day. Then it's hard to go to sleep as I am thinking about it and the alarm clock. Edited 16 January, 2009 by TopGun
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 16 January, 2009 Posted 16 January, 2009 My Mrs reckons that when I sit down she waits for me to get comfy and lean back. From my first deep breath to comatose can be as little as 3 minutes, by her reckoning. Of course I maintain that I am alert and coiled, like a spring, ready for action. Except that even the kids arguing fails to rouse me!
Weston Super Saint Posted 16 January, 2009 Posted 16 January, 2009 When do you start timing it from? Is it from when you get up, or when you've finished brushing your teeth / having sex / whatever else....
Scudamore Posted 17 January, 2009 Author Posted 17 January, 2009 When do you start timing it from? Is it from when you get up, or when you've finished brushing your teeth / having sex / whatever else.... Well after having sex it's usually around about the time that the woman wants to start talking...
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 17 January, 2009 Posted 17 January, 2009 Rouse or Arouse? Rick . . with a capital P ! Lower than even TMS' exacting standards!
Weston Super Saint Posted 17 January, 2009 Posted 17 January, 2009 Well after having sex it's usually around about the time that the woman wants to start talking... Instant sleep potion?
thesaint sfc Posted 17 January, 2009 Posted 17 January, 2009 Normally 1-2 hours if I'm not sleeping in the same room/bed as someone else
