Takes hours to fall asleep?!

Question: Takes hours to fall asleep?

I'm a teenage girl and it on a regular basis takes me 30 min-2 hours to fall asleep. I've had trouble falling asleep my entire life but thought it takes everyone that long to fall asleep. Today I learned that it takes the average person 10 min to fall asleep. I typically get 6-8 hours of sleep a night. I never feel tired during the day and am very active in sports. Why does it take me so long to fall asleep?

I get a little help from a decaf tea. Very soothing and relaxing. There are some natural herbs you can get from the Health Food Store also. If there is too much noise around you when you are trying to sleep, you may consider getting a sound machine. I got mine at Target. It has several different sounds that will block out all the external noises. Good sleeping.

Maybe insomnia. Do either of your parents have the same issue? If it becomes a problem and begins to effect your daily life, then I suggest you talk to your parents about it, if you haven't already.

10 min to fall asleep is a load of BS, anyway just stare at something, i usually stare at the ceiling
