How long would someone stay awake before going to sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Easy answer: Go to sleep when you're sleepy. If you're lying in bed and you're not able to get to sleep, get out of bed and do something that won't activate your mind, like reading something neutral or listening to relaxing music. Don't watch tv or use a computer as this will active you.
