Switches: How readily can you switch?

[Adelina]

Switches have the best of both worlds, but I wonder how swiftly can both worlds be savored?

What made me think of this is subspace. It's like an altered state of consciousness, and for some, if you go in deeply the effect can last for days. It's like being high or drunk (sometimes complete with a headache the morning after). I wouldn't want to try and top someone while I was still woozy or "drunk" from subspace.

Psychology has a role here too, of course, as the head game can be way different on opposite ends of the implement. Being a bottom can make one feel very vulnerable and needy; then, to be toppy, you've gotta shove that aside and get it together, so you're there for the next bottom to lean on.

So, if any of that makes sense to anyone, how easy is it for you to actually switch? Do you need a certain amount of time in between, a few minutes, a few days? Is it easier to go one way than the other? Or are you just ready for anything that comes along?
