If you have read the link on the other page you need five hours rest and two of them you need to be unconsious. See worrying about the amount of time you need to sleep your preventing yourself from sleeping. Well force yourself to be completely still and dont worry about anything or think. The worse thing you can do is start to worry about sleep. All the other animals only need rest because we are a thinking animal we need unconscious rest for about two hours like dolphins. So if you find yourself falling asleep quickly dont worry just say to yourself i am getting rest and i dont care if i fall asleep.

Only five hours rest? I thought you were meant to get 7-8... I usually get about 7, and it takes me at least an hour to fall asleep.

15 to 20 minutes is optimal, but most need about 40 minutes. Over 45 minutes is too long, especially if one must wake soon after.

15 to 20 minute of sleep? what are you talking about.

If you get 8 hours of sleep, you double your chances of having an LD as apposed to having 5 hours of sleep.

I think he meant 15-20 minutes it takes to fall asleep. I don't know what's healthy but I prefer about 15-20 minutes to focus my mind to help with ld's.
