It’s a blessing and a curse….

[@danliberty734]

My wife always complains that I can turn off my brain and go to sleep. Her brain winds down like a frictionless gyroscope.

[@michaelball760]

Mine never shuts down so sleep for me has been a struggle for decades. Put sleep apnea on top of that and it's misery most days. My wife can fall asleep in 30 seconds 😡

[@kathrynwhitby9799]

as does mine.

[@jeffreyallen2778]

Pisses my wife and daughters off to no end. I drink coffee all day, can sit down on the couch and lean my head back and be out in seconds. Military thing, if I need sleep, I can make myself go to sleep. Nice being a man and being able to turn our minds off. Roman empire baby

[@mattbrown5511]

Career US Army infantryman. The Army taught me to be able to fall sleep virtually anywhere, at any time. I lay my head down in a halfway comfortable position and I can fall asleep in a matter of seconds. If I have 5-10 minutes and need the sleep, there you go.

[@AenesidemusOZ]

Daytime naps are easy. Going to sleep at night on the other hand ... my wife puts her head on the pillow and she's asleep, while I wait hours for Morpheus to do his thing.

[@randywise5241]

The only times I have trouble falling to sleep is when there is something I needed to do and forgot. When I get up and attend to it, I'm right to sleep. I can drink 3 pots of coffee and still fall asleep with no problem. However, I am now at the age when my bladder will wake me up about every 2 hours.

[@benu_bird]

I envy people who can just fall asleep. It can take me hours, and I need some sound. The ability to just fall asleep is a blessing, DBV!

[@katherinedinwiddie4526]

😂😅 I can. I do, and I will fall asleep at the drop of the hat. I was in the Army so you train yourself to sleep when you get the chance.😅

[@AncientTools72]

I can't recall lasting long in a fight with my pillow either...the pillow always wins...and fast

[@Digitalhunny]

He's right everyone, don't get mad... _get even!_ 😈 😂😂😂

[@ladykoiwolfe]

I'm somewhere in the middle. If it's night and I'm alone, I absolutely cannot sleep. If I'm not alone I drift off pretty quickly. But when that sun starts coming up I can't keep my eyes open. I can sleep anywhere during the day.

[@mattstewart7818]

I can take a nap with no problem, but sleeping at night takes about 3 hours

[@TheGiggleMasterP]

As someone who can't nap unless I'm day drunk I am extremely jealous, however as an early bird who frequently gets the worm I'm okay with it.

[@marksuson5347]

I’m both. Sure is nice. 😜

[@SidewalkCitizenLA]

All I have to do is lay down. Doesn't matter if I'm tired or not, I WILL fall asleep if I lay there for more than 15 minutes 😂

[@kristynchuckhenderson3158]

The only thing more frustrating about me for my wife than being able to fall asleep is my ability to think about nothing.

[@ryimscaith1593]

Years in the military will teach you that. You grab sleep when you can, because you might not get it for days. I've fallen asleep standing up against a wall once.

[@ericankney5957]

I'm fairly certain I slept through part of my boot camp graduation ceremony.

[@PeaceJourney...]

Falling asleep? No problems. Staying asleep? Therein lies the quandary. Sometimes it's injustices wrought, sometimes it's the bladder😂

[@dawnbrady684]

I see people getting tired and offer a place for them to nap for a quick minute. I know i would want the same from others. The struggle is real.

[@countryroads3851]

This is the big plus of military life. You learn quickly to sleep asap and amap.

[@ronmcc100]

My naps are important! So don't poke the bear...

[@margueritepeaden3445]

My husband could fall asleep and be snoring in just seconds. When I was young I could fall asleep within minutes, but after menopause my brain would be like a hamster wheel of thoughts and it could take hours to get to sleep. I’ve gotten better but it’s still not as fast as my husband could get to sleep.

[@MDY-hjy845]

Amen. the same thing happens to me. I could be sitting in a doctor's office waiting to see the doctor and I fall asleep. I can fall asleep driving down the road. And have. I've actually had to pull over and take a 15-minute nap on the side of the road so as not to crash.

[@fjb4932]

Sleep apnea IS Deadly, if undiagnosed / treated. ☆

[@PaulC001]

i learned to sleep anywhere anytime in the military. i might only be able to sleep 1-2 hours at a time though. while i was in the army, in the field, training, out on a road march, i fell asleep walking with a heavy rucksack on my back still carrying my weapon. we'd been out there 6 days, and i was a PFC at the time. so yeah i had the sh!tting turns for night watch and gate guard.

[@allisonperrine968]

I'm on both sides of the tracks 😭 The first time I fall asleep it's super easy, but then I wake up about 3 or 4 AM and it takes about 2 hours to go back to sleep, which is right when I need to get up for the day.

[@toddraines7182]

Me to! If I even see my pillow, I get sleepy right away, my wife, not so much

[@heideleskun1163]

I can't nap, even putting my head on a pillow. It's outside of my zone and miss when I could.

[@HandyHanderson]

I started dozing off while watching this clip.

[@Bentriverrusher]

I set my alarm for about thirty minutes after I go to bed. After the alarm goes off I can fall asleep for hours and hours.

[@SnarkNSass]

IKR 😂 So, don't get mad at us for it!

[@imaantagonist6322]

I can fall asleep any time at any place except the moment I actually want to go to lay down and sleep for the night.

[@handimanjay6642]

They stare at us while we sleep quietly next to them as they struggle to fall asleep and the thought crosses their mind, “How much of a fight would he put up if i try and smother him with my pillow?”

[@woodzy883]

It takes me a while to get to sleep, probably around 2300-2400 on the norm. Once I do, it's interrupted sleep. And then to top it off, I'll wake up between 0300-0400. Like wide awake, out of bed, might as well start working or working out. I have been to the VA to see my arm about it, done sleep studies, been on several different medications, all that make me feel worse, and with very little help actually fixing the issue.

[@alricaneshama]

Neither of us can easily turn our brains off. Insomnia sucks!

[@watchingthewheelsgoround260]

😂 my husband is out as soon as he sits down to watch tv, I just laugh. Ladies he wasn’t always this way, it gets more frequent with age. Just let them sleep. 😂

[@jameyscroggins7242]

A pot of coffee down the hatch close my eyes out like a light, you just know God is up there laughing his arse off

[@MagnustheJust]

I was partially raised by housecats, and grizzly bear is my primary animal totem... So l can curl up in a ball and sleep anywhere. So many people hate me for this.

[@Michaelfatman-xo7gv]

If I'm not engaged, I fall asleep. I've napped everywhere, sleepwalking through jobs including one time, taking a big girl and blocking an aisle to keep the folks in the moshpit area, unfortunately, she was wearing a leather coat and the resemblance to my sister's leather couch was too much. Worked until my boss kept zapping me with his flashlight and I didn't respond.

[@Jtr_ceral_killer]

A nap is a reward an adult gives themselves for waking up before 10am on a saturday. The nap usually comes around 1pm and lasts till 5pm. Giving one just enough time to cook dinner turn on a movie and fall back asleep by 8pm.

[@bradg1440]

I wish I could fall asleep like that.

[@tazzbeauty]

Sometimes I fall asleep at the drop of a hat and other times....

[@cee8mee]

When I was younger, my husband would make fun of me falling right asleep. Just about anywhere I could recline. I always say, "I'm gonna watch this 9 minute video and then go to sleep," but I never make it to the end of the video. Just built to sleep, I guess. I get up without an alarm, too.

[@AgnesMariaL]

I can't sleep during daylight, unless I'm SO exhausted to where I might pass out on my feet... No napping for me, unless I'm doing consecutive days of 17+ hours plus 1 hour commute each way on a film job 😖🤣

[@williamhammond9090]

I wish I could do that, just to fall asleep when my head hit the pillow.

[@danieljonhson6367]

I have insomnia sometimes so if you ever figure out what causes you to just fall asleep when you're head gets near the pillow please talk to you Dr and see if they can make a pill .

[@austinm2863]

Wish I could fall asleep like that 😔

[@trishayamada807]

My husband and I get on our flight, 14 hours long, we sit down get seat belt on, and he’s OUT. He sleeps 14 hours on a plane in the upright position and it makes me so irritated. He can sleep anywhere at any time.

[@johnlightspeed5931]

The struggle is real lol.

[@bettyswallocks6411]

Some nights, I’m not exactly sure, but it seems like I just float under the sheetszzzzz

[@nichol1591]

My husband is convinced there is something wrong with me, or that I am not getting enough sleep. Long trip on the road? I fall asleep.. I get into bed at night? Fall asleep within minutes. Wake up in the middle of the night? No problem, Im back to sleep right away.

[@Mike-cn2mt]

Amen

[@CalebA_Guitarist]

I fell asleep at 2-3 in the morning, I woke up at 8, fell back asleep till. 10-45 ish, I can’t only fall asleep quickly right after I wake up

[@aocleader7950]

Those of us who work and use energy tend to be more tired and require more rest your generation tell us gen x how you don't want to work than complain you can't sleep and are upset that those of us who work and provide are resting

[@godexistslowerfield3302]

My wife is the one with that super power, I be so jealous...

[@TheLadyWoreBlack73]

Me and my ex-husband. I can sleep standing up and he takes an hour or longer to fall asleep.

[@lylehart3744]

It's because we haven't done anything that is making us feel guilty, anxious, afraid, or otherwise unpeaceful. Some of y'all just cause yourselves too much stress overthinking situations that are out of your control.

[@auntyitch0019]

My husband is the same he sleeps everywhere

[@sharon8015]

I have to take meds to make me fall asleep I'm an insomniac I can be up for 2 days straight before I'll crash if I don't have my meds

[@IsabellaL82]

My ex-husband could just fall asleep within seconds of his head hitting the pillow. Gosh, it annoyed me. I suffer from insomnia

[@carrow2250]

That’s funny. My wife is the one that falls asleep quickly. I wonder why and if there’s any similarities in people that can do this 🤔

[@BarryRosen-io6jh]

I can't fall asleep for hours unless I'm sick

[@CatherineTeramino]

Might be a Navy thing, since we had to fall asleep when we could when we were underway. I mean I can fall asleep at the drop of a pin, but if I hear bells for fire or GQ or civie equivalent I am up so fast it is not funny

[@user-xh3zo4ts6h]

I could be on nonskid surface with two V12 engines at full bore going 30 knots forty feet below me, while hitting 10-20 foot waves every 10 seconds, lay my head down between evolutions and sleep instantly, just like a baby, I need just pull my hat barely over my eyes... out like a light, like THE* light? Same diff 😂😅

[@tonyascarlett2413]

My husband can stop, drop, and sleep.

[@leward7788]

isn't it the soldier in you that learned how? also, men simply have less cluttered minds - i have 3 brothers - i lived the difference, then there were those pesky dadbods of my own.

[@CGo-sd3gl]

😂😂😂 Are there any woman out there that can fall asleep like that!?!

[@joanderson2055]

Me!

[@brohamwes5008]

A guilty conscience is what keeps people up at night. Live large believe in God and believe everybody got a good spot in your heart . I have no trouble sleeping

[@VotingBlue]

So it's like a "documentary" voice? I like documentaries.

[@user-fl9te5ur2n]

💯% agree

[@KhamusSolo]

same thing, roles reversed, but shes not in trouble for it. I just own it, and be openly jealous. Couple things she has on me like that.

[@vivalaresistance45]

That's the military training!

Melatonin works differently in people's brains. Marijuana works well for sleep. Only for sleep 😴 💤

[@granden2077]

Working makes you tired. Try that.

[@Seven7Pain1]

Well now kids are grown and im divorced no one to bitch when I pass out I find falling asleep in computer chair is not good for my back but happens everyday after work

[@travisaugustine7264]

Mad? No I don't get mad. I do sometimes poke my wife in the ribs to get her to roll over, or something so that I can hopefully get more comfortable and go to sleep, but I don't get mad. I wish I knew what it was like to be able to fall asleep quickly, and stay asleep because you see, there in lies the largest frustration of all. Once I fall asleep, I don't stay that way.

[@tyroneflaucher3499]

Tell them to try to stay awake...😮

[@Nick98366]

Dear sir, This is a common complaint from those women who wed us military and ex-military types. And no matter how many times you tell them that the Armed Forces trained you to do that with a mixture of fatigue, long hours and sleep depravation, they still are upset that you have this ability. Signed, and over worked, over pre-ORSE and ORSED ex-nuke submariner

[@BM-hb2mr]

Its called work. This new generation doesn't know what work means. If you work it makes you tired then your able to fall asleep. Its called WORKING for a living. Tehy should tey it once or twice. Workaphobia its a new problem with Gen Z along with depression, every other phobia, every other Ailments tht they say they have because they looked it up on the internet and believed every work that ia said on it

[@wolfhodgkinson6866]

You don't get it, Bro. We're not upset with you. We envy you! I toss and turn for hours, sometimes all night. But then, I have pain in pretty much every place you can imagine having pain, so it does sort of interfere. Still, I'd give my left... whatever... to get just one good night's sleep. So don't take it so hard, and by gawd I do hope you don't develop such insomnia or pain problems as you become the Grand Old Generation you will eventually be.

[@kathrynwhitby9799]

maybe the female mind is still busy making plans and lists for the next day/week/month?

[@norahulsey7247]

❤❤

[@marinesgt8048]

Almost all your military or military veterans can do this because at the time when you can get a few hours or a few minutes or shut eye you take it.

[@jeramiahcox6976]

Maybe if your life had a little more "work" in it, and a little less "talking about it", you too could know peace.

It may be an apnea thing. 😂

[@timslack7568]

well its not genetics, I know that because Im like your wife, I'll toss and turn for hours until I essentially pass out for 8 or 9 hours, whereas my brother is like you and would probably fall asleep watching this video and then only needs 4 hours or so of sleep and hes good to go for the day. Its not fair
