Do you fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow? Does it take you a long time to wind down? It turns out that the time it takes you to fall asleep might be more important than you think. According to sleep experts, if you’re out like a light within 10-20 minutes, you’re in the sweet spot of sleep health. But if you’re dozing off in under 5 minutes, you might actually be sleep-deprived. On the flip side, taking more than 30 minutes to fall asleep could signal insomnia or other sleep issues.
