I go to sleep about 11 pm or midnight. I try to stay in bed for 8 to 8 1/2 hours, since I usually have to get up to use the bathroom at least once during the night.
I don't think you can be your best during the day if you usually get only 6 hours of sleep. I feel better and function better with 8 hours, even though with caffeine I can stay awake with only 6 hours.
I do not count sheep. I say the Lord's Prayer after I get into bed, I say it very slowly thinking about each phrase, trying to visualize and feel it. I think it is a great prayer of love and admiration and surrender to God and saying it every night has given me much more peace waking and sleeping than I used to have before I discovered this little secret.

Typically, I go to sleep anywhere from 4:00am to 6:00am (I work 2nd shift, and get off at 12:30am). On the average day, I get up around 1:00pm to 2:00pm.
So that would be about 7-9 hours of sleep a day - though I usually end up getting woken up at least once during that time :(:(
As for FALLING asleep - this is why there is a two-hour range for my sleep times. Typically, I don't crawl into bed until I feel that I NEED to. Counting sheep, etc. only keeps my BRAIN awake - I spend enough nights tossing and turning (due to thoughts running through my mind) without CAUSING it myself ;);););)

to me it depends on what i have done that day and how tired i am.
If i have had alot of exercise then i can fall asleep straight away and sleep for a good solid 10 hours. But if it was a lazy rainy day it may take me 10-20 minutes to go to sleep so in that time i listen to some music and it usally helps.
PS: i dont think anyone counts sheep anymore lol

I try to sleep by 11pm and get up around 8am. I sometimes wake up several times, other days not so much. I have tried counting sheep when i couldn't sleep and I will assume it works cos I fall asleep and not realise I stopped counting.

yeah i fall asleep around eleven, also. i'm too worked throughout the day, it's hard for me to go to sleep. i keep thinking i forgot to do an assignment, or if i had to get something signed, or if i needed to call someone, or if i missed a practice; stuff like that.
i usually get around 5 to 6 hours of sleep and end of falling asleep in math class sometimes...
i never count sheep, frankly, it has never worked for me. ever. i just listen to sitcom conversations on my television, and i drift into dream land.

I go to sleep around 10:00(because my body refuses to move after that) and wake up around 6:30ish. It works.. so far. It takes me about 5 or 10 min. to fall asleep because my body loves sleeping: ) When I'm trying to go to sleep I usually put on some soothing music such as waves crashing on the beach etc.
