*snort* I slept through a tornado during Ivan. Funny how I can't fall asleep, but once I do, elephants couldn't wake me either.

It varies for me. Most of the time, it's probably in the 15-30 minute category, so that's what I chose.

On occasion it can take hours. Or if I've taken a nap sometime during the evening, I can forget about getting a good night's sleep. I try to avoid the nap, but sometimes I'm just so tired I can't stay awake. In those cases I try to sleep through the night, but often I'm not very successful.

You know, I used to be like that. Once, when I was a teen, a car wrapped itself around a lamppost on the road right outside my bedroom window and I managed to sleep right through the ensuing fuss, including sirens and my parents getting up and bringing over blankets etc for the driver. (Who fortunately survived pretty much unscathed.)

Several years of dealing with a hound who had a major allergy and couldn't get through a night without trying to rip his paws apart a dozen times cured me of that though! Even though we now seem to have gotten through and he's fine now, I still wake up if he so much as twitches in his sleep.

I like the bit about the charging elephant...

I think a charging elephant would probably awaken me when I get to sleeping really good... But I have been known to carry on complete conversations with someone when I'm quite asleep.

Well, it takes me between 30 minutes and an hour to fall asleep, depending on how tired I am. Since I'm usually very tired, I opted for 30 to 45 minutes in the poll.

BTW, a little searching on the web has informed me that the average adult takes 15 - 20 minutes to fall asleep, even though the majority of this poll suggests otherwise...

And I seem to fall into the most popular category here. So, not weird at all then! :p

I chose 0 - 15 minutes, but probably it takes me less than 10 minutes. I fall asleep almost instantly.

It must be because I have to wake up early and I normally get to sleep late. So, I'm always tired when I go to bed.

And, once asleep, elephants couldn't wake me, too.

I hate going to bed. I was that way when I was six and now at 31...I still have trouble writing that...31 31 31 31 31 ACK how did that happen.

*cough*

Okay, where was I? It used to take me hours to fall asleep. Now I'm now to around 30-45...but lately 1 hr. The A/C is not good up in my room on the second floor and that has made it hard for me to sleep. I love a cold room. That discovery has helped me improve my sleep a lot. In the winter, the window is open a crack. I don't care if it is -30C out there. Blankets make me happy. I love my Hudson's Bay blankie I have an ugly pink one and blue one.



When I was in grade six I had this warped idea that every day I'd have trouble falling asleep. Well, I just knew if I had a good sleep one night, the next night would be torture. It used to take me four hours or so to get to sleep.

My 'up' time I now know is 8-11. I could be dizzy with sleep during the day, but MAN I get my house cleaner than clean during that period of the day - I'm SO productive.

I can only think of a few times, as an adult, when I've fallen aleep within 5 minutes.


(Ugh! I was looking for pictures and I saw a blanket I want! SIGH. Cranberry! Maybe one day *sigh*)

Incredible. Oh wait, that's not what you were asking.

It really varies. Some nights I can crawl into bed and be asleep in five minutes. Other times I toss and turn for an hour or more before I finally fall asleep.
