How long is it supposed to it take for the average person to fall into a deep sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normals: Typically stage n3/delta sleep between 30-60 minutes. Rem sleep (stage n5) is about 90-120 minutes. If you haven't slept in a while these numbers are shorter. This is for adults, kids go into deeper sleep faster and spend more time there as well.
