I usually fall asleep in 15-30 minutes after I actually try to fall asleep. Not counting hours I spent in bed with my phone, because I don't want to sleep yet. But sometimes for the first hour or so of sleep I would wake up every 15 minutes. It's weird because I'm a really heavy sleeper. Once I stay asleep while my family broke down the door and fixing it back, and Im sleeping just 2 meter away from the door.....
How long does it takes for you to actually fall asleep?

5 secs to 5 hours, I don't have a standardized fall-asleep-window. It all depends on how tired my brain is.
Sometimes I got to bed early due to next days' workload, and I can't find myself falling asleep for hours.
Other times, especially on weekends when I have some free time and I want to stay a bit later just playing some games or reading, I find myself falling asleep on my chair, with the gamepad in hand, in the middle of a gaming session, even before my usual work week bed time.

4 hours is pretty common. I wish I didn't have to sleep. But even us vampires need sleep.

I put my head on the pillow and I'm gone. I feel blessed whenever I see my friends taking Melatonin lol.

It varies a lot. Sometimes, I fall asleep very shortly after the kid does. If he won't let me sleep when I am ready to sleep, my body keeps me up another five hours once I push past that wall of fatigue.

5-10 minutes, usually. It's not unheard of that I simply can't fall asleep for whatever reason and thus take up to an hour to fall asleep, but in that case I usually get back up and do something to try to tire myself out a bit more.
My go-to method is to brainstorm story ideas while I wait to fall asleep. Most of the ideas aren't that great, but the few that are will usually stick around till the next morning when I'll write them down, and anyway, the point of it is more to occupy my mind so I don't think about how I'm not perfectly comfortable and then keep shifting around a little to try to rectify it. Holding perfectly still is extremely helpful when it comes to falling asleep quickly.
