I once fell asleep in the middle of a sentence, it was when I was in the army in germany, we had been going since 2am, and it was about 4 in the afternoon, my squad leader was talking to me about his car, and I fell asleep literally in the middle of a sentence, he couldnt believe it.

Way to fucking long.

The "what if's" always try to come get in bed with me.

Unless of course I have someone to knock me out.

gov135 04-22-2003 06:10 PM

Minutes now. Used to take a lot longer. Now it doesn't. I'm not sure why.

taog 04-22-2003 06:24 PM

Now, this will keep you up!!!!!!!


Think about falling asleep tonight, and try to fall asleep as quick as you can!!!!!

I bet some people will be up for a long time. I know i will be.


As for how fast i fall asleep..

It depends on a lot of things.

If i had a great day, and i am not overly excited about something, i will fall asleep in 5 - 30 minutes, depending on how tired i am.

Lately i have been learning php (i already know a lot about asp and perl, so i decided to learn php). I am very excited about creating php scripts to sell to people, and i keep thinking about different things i can add to make my scripts better. My mind races and thus, i can't fall asleep right away.

If i am stressed out about something and i can't stop thinking about it, i tend to lose a lot of sleep.

Ex. When my ex and i broke up and all that bullshit happened, i didn't sleep for 4 days straight. That's the longest i have ever gone. I also cried at work in the bathroom after someone asked me what was wrong. I was really hurt, and now that i think about it, i should have gone to get help with trying to get things off my mind and stuff.

Anyway, a final note to you all

TEST HOW LONG IT TAKES YOU TO GET TO SLEEP TONIGHT!!!! LETS SEE HOW FAST YOU CAN GET TO SLEEP!!!!

muhahaha

If I check the clock to see when I fell asleep, I never get to sleep. If I don't, I have no way of knowing.

napking 04-22-2003 08:22 PM

out like a light if i'm sleeping by myself. a little while longer if i'm with the girlfriend.

John_Gault 04-22-2003 09:50 PM

I get the same thing as arael. If everything is going reasonably smoothly in life I'm out like a light inside of 5 minutes. But if I've got big problems I fret over them for hours before I finally just pass out from exhaustion.

Also, I will go through stretches where I will wake up at exactly the same time in the morning (say 4:47) for weeks at a time even though my alarm doesn't go off until 6:15. And I also always wake up two or three minutes before my alarm goes off. What percentage of ya'll have this kind of experience?

Frosstbyte 04-22-2003 10:01 PM

I'm an awful awful sleeper. It usually takes a solid half hour for me to fall asleep under the best of conditions and sometimes hours. ::sigh:: So it goes

LordEden 04-22-2003 10:04 PM

30-40 pages of a book, give or take how tired I am at the time I lay my head down.

Baricua2782 04-22-2003 11:31 PM

anywhere from instantaneous to hours. I can't really control it, it just happens

snowy 04-23-2003 12:05 AM

Sometimes it seems like forever! Usually takes about 20 mins, less if I've been drinking. Masturbation before bedtime also helps :D

KillerYoda 04-23-2003 12:10 AM

Thanks to Jolt cola, sleep is now obsolete.

sapiens 04-25-2003 09:22 AM

Maybe 45 minutes, but every few months I'll have a night when it takes me 5 hours to fall asleep.

troit 04-25-2003 01:17 PM

Lately not too long -- but that's only because the tiredness is due to the self-medication of alcohol. Without the alcohol my mind reels and then I can just forget about getting any sleep that night. After about 4 hours of sleep though I wake up and can't get back to bed for a good 1 1/2 to 2 hours, you know right about that time I need to get back up for work.... Go figure.

viejo gringo 04-25-2003 01:57 PM

Just drop my pants or have something touch my back---

then we be done---

b1m2x3 04-25-2003 02:00 PM

i sit there for about 2 hours staring at the ceiling. I just cant fall asleep. Most of the time i will get up and go back into the chat, and then try again...
i usually get to sleep around 3 ish. I am messed up....

Same here.....I hate it....of course when I wake up like that I realize I have to use the bathroom, I get up and go, then I feel cheated from sleep....

Since I started my new job, I've been exhausted.
Alpha phi works 3rd , so I don't go to sleep until he leaves..I have to get up at 5 am so I get about 6 hours sleep ...sometimes less...so usually when I lay down to sleep it only takes a few minutes for me to conk out....

WhoaitsZ 04-25-2003 08:02 PM

sleep????????wtf is sleep?

three to six hours. i have insomnia and a few other factors. normally between 3 and 5 am.......

every four to six weeks, however, i'll fall asleep EARLY. like 11pm and sleep all night...... then i'm good to go again.

BubblegumTeflon 04-26-2003 06:32 AM

10-30min. If I'm excited about something then I can't get to sleep until I wind down. Usually I can make myself forget about whatever exciting thing I was thinking about before I conk out.

Spanky Johnson 04-26-2003 07:09 AM

I 've found that the only way I can keep from lying awake worrying about things is to wait until I can barely keep my eyes open before lying down to sleep. Once I reach that point, I'm nearly always asleep within 2-3 minutes.

splck 04-26-2003 07:16 AM

I'm asleep in less than 5 minutes. It's been this way my whole life. The only time I stay awake is if I'm going to a new school or new job in the am, but that was 15 years ago, so no big deal.

yournamehere 04-26-2003 07:30 AM

Very seldom does it take longer than 5 minutes.
I've had insomnia before,though, and my symapathy to any who suffers from it niw.
