      Time to fall asleep

      Is there any way of intentionally falling asleep faster? I know instant sleep is probably impossible but is there any way to make it happen consistently in say, under 5 minutes? I know the standard things such as exercise in the day, don't exercise right before bed etc but these are generic sleep aids. I wanted to know if there is any specific technique to achieve fast times to fall asleep.

      Also I wanted to know what other peoples fastest time to fall asleep at the start of the night was (not after sleep deprivation or after waking up, just a normal night). For me I think it was probably around 5 minutes but it's usually around 20 I assume.

      Apparently the average time for someone to fall asleep is 7 minutes. Usually I'm around 15 but I'm having sleeping problems sleeping at the moment.

      I've heard your body releases melatonin at 9pm-10pm more than any other time in the day, which helps with falling asleep. Get out of bed if you closed your eyes for awhile and begin to get frustrated, I will usually get up and get on the computer for about 30 more minutes and then lay back down. I heard fans help, because they are easy to block out and they cover up outside background noise. Try to get rid of X-factors like needing to go to the bathroom, are you hungry, and do you have some things you need to do. I also like to prepare my bed where it is comfortable as I'm about to go to bed.
      You could also google some other techniques, and I saw a thread here a while back that had this link to this site that showed 10 really good methods to fall asleep, so you could use the searchbar for that. Hope this helped

      You should try listening to Yoga Nidra. Someone posted the mp3 somewhere on this forum, can't remember where though. Or just google it. I can take up to an hour or more to fall asleep. But with Yoga Nidra my mind goes fuzzy in just a minute and the next thing I know, well, I haven't yet been able to listen to the entire mp3! I fall asleep every time!
