    Hello everyone. I've signed up for this NOFAP site yesterday. And, today is the 4th day of my abtention. I'm not only trying to stop watching porn but also trying to stop playing video games. The reason why I write this thread is that there is one thing I want to ask.

    After I've begun my abstention, an unendurable feeling of sleepiness makes me feel depressed and I cannot study very well... Is this feeling of sleepiness common when many people start their own abstention? I sincerely hope that this feeling is just a temporary side effect...

    P.S. Since I'm a South Korean Whose native language is not English, you could feel uncomfortable when you see this thread. Thank you for reading this.

    Low energy is common. All the PMOing and video gaming causes surges in adrenaline and other chemicals that keep you awake. Stop the activity and those chemical balances have to normalize. Result: you may feel lethargic for a few days.

    You can counter this by exercising and eating real, healthy food.

    Yeah it is. Just one of the many forms of withdrawal you might experience.

    Remember when you are removing addictions you are fighting your brain. When your brain craves things it used physiological triggers to try to get you to restart what it carves. Try exercise to invigorate your body and coffee to awaken your mind.
