Is it usually hard for you to fall asleep?

Question

NathanDavis · Accepted Answer

I would not say it is hard at this point... but it does take some time, 40 minutes at the very least and I am quite used to that

I no longer focus on falling asleep, I just relax and focus on rest... instead of trying to hall asleep, and that has been working very well for me for at least a decade,. lol

I usually go to bed late, after midnight, so I'm already tired. I usually fall asleep within 5 minutes of my head hitting the pillow. Unfortunately, my body has some infernal (internal too!) clock that I always wake up after 5 hours of sleep or 6am, whichever comes first.

Nobefore · Answer

Yes. Most of the time I struggle to sleep in my bed. I can't stop my head. I think like a machine. I am gonna die early because of this. My father was the same when I was a child. We were spent time together until the sun comes up. I eat healthily, exercise a lot drink herbal teas, don't use the phone, quit screen time before sleep, and read before bedtime but none of them doesn't work. When I read I keep thinking about the facts I just learned. If I listen to music I'm thinking clips or lyrics if I watch a movie I think about shoot angles and character development and I sleep about 3 or 4 hours max in a day. I don't know what to do. :(

It is really easy for me to sleep at night.
But I feel really heavy eyed in afternoon, so I take a nap up to 20 minute. Not more than that. But I need to tell you that it is not healthy. I mean not healthy at all. Try to beat it anyhow.

I also seem to have a bit of acidity problem. And I cannot sleep on these days. So whenever I feel like it, I just take my Kindle and start reading some novel I had purchased long ago.
Also if I feel like it, I just take an overview of the market condition and try to pick up the stocks for my watchlist.

But the next two days after this one night are a lot more difficult than my regular days.

Extremely! I could have worked a 9 hour shift on my feet, been to the gym, etc , etc and I still can't relax and switch off. Generally, I am comforted by gentle noise or someone talking to me or listening to a podcast or video until I fall asleep. It seems to be a soother.

Lliam · Answer

Not unless something heavy is weighing on my mind.
Something else that used to keep me awake was when I was the guitarist and vocalist in a band. Songs would run through my head, trying to memorize lyrics and chords or work out guitar leads. It was a form of visualization but I couldn't turn it off.

dustybiker · Answer

Only occasionally. When lots on my mind. Write down racing thoughts and it allows you to sleep peacefully knowing they are written down to remind you when you wake.

Apulu_3 · Answer

Yes but I feel asleep when I am extremely tired. Mostly it is difficult for me to get tired actually.

HighlyVolatile · Answer

If I need to at a set time which isn't like 3 AM in the morning. :-D I'm a hardcore night owl. I get far more energetic at night rather than during the day. Even if I wake up early in the morning after only sleeping a few hours, have a very hard day both mentally and physically, I still get hyper at night and want to sleep at like 3 AM.

geonator · Answer

Lately no, but in the past yes. I find that one thing that helps is listening to "sleep music" while lying down somewhere else other than the bed, and then eventually I get more and more sleepy and it's easy to go to the bed and fall asleep (if my current sleep schedule is such that it's not too early to fall asleep)

DamnSam · Answer
