i saw miss scarlet's sleep thread, and was reminded of a discussion i had with a friend the other day. we were talking sleeping (as in actually sleeping) with other people. she loves it. i absolutely can't do it. one of the reasons is simply that it takes me hours to fall asleep. she was talking about how nice it is to fall asleep in someone's arms. me: "yeah, you mean that part where they fall asleep after 5 minutes and you're stuck in their sleepy grip without any way of moving for like 3 hours until you finally fall asleep? YEAH, NICE."

so. how long does it usually take YOU to fall asleep? minutes? hours? i'm genuinely curious as to what is actually normal.

It varies. I'd say about 20 minutes alone, in my bed, if i'm an average amount of tired (i know, that wasn't very good English, I didn't know how else to put it). Takes me about half an hour if I'm somewhere I've never been before. But about 10 minutes if i'm sleeping with someone else & i'm comfortable enough to get to sleep.
A lot of the time when I'm sleeping with someone else I can't stand it when they touch me so I stress myself out & can't sleep for hours.

most nights i'm out within ten minutes.
i actually fall asleep faster when i'm at my boy's than if i'm alone. i think the snuggling makes me feel warm and cozy and it's so much easier to get comfortable when i'm curled up with someone.

Up to an hour.Since uni about 3 i guess
I hate that some people can sleep within 5 minutes of shutting there eyes

i don't understand how people can fall asleep after like 5 min either. it's fucking crazy. I can only do that when I'm wasted but that's not sleeping, it's PASSING OUT.


It takes me usually half an hour. And I have a really hard time sleeping/falling asleep if there's someone else in the room...which kinda sucks.
