How long should it take me to fall asleep?

The amount of time it takes to fall asleep varies from person to person. Most individuals can easily fall asleep within minutes of getting into bed, others may take a while longer to drift off. For those with healthy sleep patterns, the average time it takes to fall asleep is about 10-20 minutes.

Poor sleep hygiene can result in difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep. A great sleep hygiene routine will include creating a sleep-conducive environment, establishing a regular sleep schedule, avoiding stimulating activities before bed, and limiting caffeine intake. By following these practices, you can create a routine that signals to your body that it's time to sleep, making it easier to fall asleep.
