Is 10-15 seconds a realistic time for how long it takes to go unconscious?

Things are getting really dark in my life and I'm worried about the repercussions of failing ctb.

I tested for 5 seconds letting my weight go and although I did feel the intense head pressure, very slight dimming of eyesight and a huge gasp for air once I stopped, I'm worried I won't be able to make it to 15 seconds, let alone more.

I think so? A few years back I was practicing partial hanging. I wasn't counting or anything, but the one time I seemed to get everything right, I blacked out pretty quick. I used a belt in the door frame and it wasn't properly secured for my weight. I woke up on the floor.

May I ask if you remember if you felt a lot of pressure in your head and did put something like rolled up socks to the areas of the carotid artery? And could you breathe?

In the many attempts that didn't go so well, yes I did feel pressure and I did have trouble breathing. In the one that worked, no, none of that happened. I didn't use socks or anything like that while hanging.

please be careful testing I've learned that tests feel unsuccessful or feel short but the one time I tried with a stop watch I was actually pulling up right before the fifteen second mark and it felt like just a second.
