I don't really see the point in answering your questions, since the answers are all subjective anyway. My question (how can I fall asleep more quickly) assumes that for me, doing so is desirable, and that my goals are as stated (e.g. asleep by 10, up by 5:30).

- tnorthcutt 14y agoFair enough. I was in a bit of a foul mood when I answered earlier - my apologies. I want to go to sleep quickly to minimize "wasted" time. I've found that I function best when I average at least 7 hours of sleep, so asleep by 7 would allow me to get up before 6 and feel well. I want to get up before 6, because when I do get up early, I enjoy the quiet time in the morning before the day ramps up (including my young son waking up and requiring attention). Consistency is important mainly because I need/want 7 hours of sleep, and I want to get up before 6 so that I have some time in the morning as previously mentioned.
