So, what puts you to sleep?

As for me, I don't sleep much, only get 5, at max, hours of sleep in 24 hours.
Too much anxiety and depression, it is, for me.

What about you?

Sex, exercise or reading. In that preferential order.

I can normally fall asleep at the drop of a hat, just doesn't last long, napping for about an hour.

When I do go to bed, I can't sleep much past 7am most days, even if I've had a late night on the town.

I haven't tried myself but I'm sure one of those polar bear tranquilizers would knock me out :p.

I have to take Benedryl on a fairly regular basis right now, so that usually puts me to sleep. But with or without Benedryl, I turn on "How It's Made" on Netflix. Turn it low, and watch until my eyes drift shut.

Love the show, and everything about it is so mellow and rhythmic. I especially love any leather-working episodes.

And also being "twinkled", as I call it--when I can get my fella to lightly rub my arms, back, neck, etc. with his fingertips.

Just think about Windows 8, get depressed, fall asleep. :D No, just kidding. My brain gets enough exercise daily to fall asleep instantly.

I have a hard time sleeping without some form of noise that I can control. Normally it's some film, but occasionally it's music.

If I try sleeping in silence then my mind goes in to overdrive and I start over thinking things that I've done, or things that I have to do. You can expect me to be awake for a long time if that happens.

My doctor told me that above average intelligence people don't need much sleep...

Might have been because I was asking for sleeping tablets, but I took it as my reason I don't sleep much :D

I fall asleep less than 5 minutes after I touch my pillow. Work and exercise after work help me fall asleep that fast.

Hmm, I have trouble sleeping also. I think its usually due to too much coffee and sugar though. But I rarely get more than 6-7 hours sleep. I would like more.
