That was true before DH too. I'm quick to fall asleep though--it usually takes between 3 and 10 minutes.

DH snores so if he's asleep before me, the TV is necessary. We tried a noise machine but it didn't work the same.

I usually try to focus on my breathing if my mind is racing and if I still can't fall asleep, I'll put some "stress away" essential oil on my wrists and neck and am out very quickly Alivoo01 on "How do you fall asleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-fall-asleep-1#post-2087092 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 15:02:48 +0000 Alivoo01 2087092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @ineebee: hahaha @ your request to have your DH tell you about work and you're out! I need it to be quiet and pitch black. But if I'm really tired, I'll fall asleep anywhere, anyway. ineebee on "How do you fall asleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-fall-asleep-1#post-2087082 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 15:00:53 +0000 ineebee 2087082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ It used to be hard to sleep next to DH because I need to switch positions a lot before falling asleep, but he loves to cuddle and hold hands. So I got used to it and we fall asleep holding hands in silence. Sometimes when I can't sleep, I ask him to tell me about work and I'm OUT COLD in less than a minute sometimes. :) :) Mamaof2 on "How do you fall asleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-fall-asleep-1#post-2087078 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 15:00:17 +0000 Mamaof2 2087078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I use a noise app on my phone and I go right to sleep! fancyfunction on "How do you fall asleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-fall-asleep-1#post-2087049 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 14:53:47 +0000 fancyfunction 2087049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've always been the same way. When he's not home, I need the sound of the tv to fall asleep or else the quiet feels too creepy ;) DillonLion on "How do you fall asleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-fall-asleep-1#post-2087038 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 14:52:20 +0000 DillonLion 2087038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Always with the tv on. DH and I never go to bed at the same time. If we did, I wouldn't need the tv. I get scared of the dark/silence if I am alone so the tv is vital for me. mrsjyw on "How do you fall asleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-fall-asleep-1#post-2087030 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 14:51:22 +0000 mrsjyw 2087030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I used to always have to have the TV on a sleep timer in order to fall asleep. Either that or read a book (I'd be out in 10 min!)... but anytime I'd try to fall asleep with just the lights turned off, my mind would race and I could never fall asleep right away. Since living together/getting married and having DH next to me, I've gotten accustomed to falling asleep with everything turned off. But I occasionally will watch tv or read a book to help fall asleep. What about you?
