What time do you go to sleep?

[MissInformation]

I voted for the times I "go" to bed, but they do not reflect what time I actually fall asleep... Unless I take a sleep aid (which I rarely, rarely do because I just don't like them) it takes me at least an hour, sometimes more, to fall asleep. And it doesn't matter how tired I am, I just can't shut down. I can fall asleep at noisy meetings and competitions and in cars in seconds but not at home. I tend to wake up a lot during the night too, but luckily I can usually fall right back to sleep.

I find that unless I have some sort of background noise, I find it very difficult to fall asleep. I have a ceiling fan in my room that I leave on High all year round because the noise it makes provides some constant noise for me to fall asleep too. For a while, I listened to quiet music while I was going to bed, but I haven't been doing that so much lately. At competitions, I like to turn the AC way up both because I love when I wake up and it's freezing except under my covers, and because it makes a blowing sound that helps me fall asleep.

Let's hope my college roommate finds noise as conducive to sleep as I do.

I actually had a roomate in competitions who had the same situation, and though I tend to prefer silence I didn't have much problem with it...so there's always hope

Then again, I tend to fall asleep about 2 seconds after my head hits the pillow. I just...kinda fall out of reality. It's really quite nice.

well considering i had my own room at nationals, I just left the TV and fell asleep to that...i do it quite often...

in my ideal world, i would get to bed at 10 every night and sleep until 6. However homework and various late night phone conversations cause me to stay up until 12:30-1ish every night. During april vacation it was much worse...I think I was up until between 4 and 5 every night
